Burntime Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Well, I had to make 2 trips with the ranger but I got it all home. Its a newer sovereign with power steering and the dreaded triad. I got a snowthrower, rear plow (moldboard?), tire chains, rear swivel cart, 36 inch rototiller, and drum roll....................................................an honest the goodness cozy cab! Not sure where the deck is...guys used it for snow duty. Everything is amazingly clean. Its dirty from everyone jumping on and off it all day... It will soon get the brand spankin new command and the great running triad will get sold off...
roma3112 Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 that is nearly the same set up as I have, I lucked out and had simlicity replace the engine in mine under warranty. hey worked with my dealer and went thru al eden for the command kit!! I love the sovereign i purchased mine brand new though and paid $$$ How much did your sovereign run you if i may ask ?
Burntime Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 Got a great deal, then about $60 bucks in gas making 2 trips!
Burntime Posted April 23, 2011 Author Posted April 23, 2011 Yep, I am transplanting the kohler to sell off the triad. It runs great but I have a new command that just needs a muffler... I am also going to sell off the tiller, plow, and blower. I have my own. Should bring the investment down quite a bit...:D
Killer_A-C Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 Nice tractor.Originaly came from Tennies Hardware aka SEPW.....
timflury Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 quote:Originally posted by Burntime I am also going to sell off the tiller, plow, and blower.:D You already have soil engagement attachments??? Do you need to go to a plow day??
yukon Posted April 23, 2011 Posted April 23, 2011 you will love it mike i sold mine last year and i regret it every day that is one sweet tractor:D
Burntime Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 Tim, have a great black tiller so no need for 2 of them. I would not use the moldboard plow and its one of the first simplicity according to the number so rather then leave it sit in the garage it will move along...
jmhusby Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Mike, you really scored big with cozy cab, you will enjoy that next winter. Now that you got your power steering its going to be our turn next:D:D. Nice haul. Now we just have to get rid of the damn bug crawling around on the screen!!
jmhusby Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 The bug is part of Ray's post so I guess its okay then.8D8D8D
Brettw Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Smokin' deal! All the elderly need that power steering and should have it!:D:D
Burntime Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 I will get the cozy cab ready for next season... I am going to use that loop carpeting I think for the headliner... I can velcro to it! No more searching pockets for the garage door openers! Heck, I may wire in a radio while I am at it!:D It already has a fan, wiper motor, strobe, and fuse block. It is screaming for a stereo. Of course I will not go overboard with a cd player or anything:D:D:D
tripleguy Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 Nice score Mike. That's going to almost make it so you look forward to snow. Almost.
Burntime Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 Almost? Heck, I am already dreaming about the yellow strobe and will put some led lights on the cab. They are like 100 bucks but Will make a nice addition! Now to figure out which gps to hard wire in:D:p:D
Burntime Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 Well cleaned it up this morning. Out with the old and in with the new I guess... Oh, but she will be wearing larger rear tires!:D
hotrodtractor Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 nice work Mike.. bout time you got that pwr steering enjoy. Even the wife or kids could use it now with the pwr steering, but I am sure you want all the seat time you can get. That appears to be a 2000 last model as the seat on the 98/99 were the rubbery ones. Now just get that triad outa there asap. ejoy the yellow gas tank as now you can see how much is in there and not overflow when filling:p bye the ay you got lucky my 99/2000 has the crapy gray peelalot paint frame.. you got black nice. I get 1st dibs on your front glass from you old cab:o)
hotrodtractor Posted April 24, 2011 Posted April 24, 2011 by the way I just looked closer at yor pics clean up those head fins I see oil on them.. that's certain death for a triad. A good degrease and hose/pwr wash will help.. or better yet pull head plates off and clean the head fins. and that moldboard single bottom plow is a orginal simplicity and I have same one love it vs the brinley which require sleev hitch adapter. I would keep it as it makes tilling garden 50% faster I think.
Burntime Posted April 24, 2011 Author Posted April 24, 2011 There is just a touch of oil when I went thru it. Literally a dab. I just tilled the garden with the extra tiller and the new sovereign. Wow, both work like a dream. I can not even hear the tiller turning!
