Just picked up a B212

[bowhunt4life]

I brought this home today. Basically the bare tractor. I picked this up to mow with and run the EZ Rake.

I had to swap out the mule drive portion as it was very sloppy and had some funky pulleys on it.

This is the first Variable Speed tractor. So far so good, shifts smoothly and changes speeds fine.

Throttle cable slips from full throttle to half, any suggestions on that fix?

Does anyone know what this it?

It's the lift cable for the later sickle mower. Someone will be asking to buy that!

[B112_son]

Nice looking machine.

What part of Wis. did this sweet tractor come from??

[bowhunt4life]

Guy had it on C-list in Racine. We did a little bartering and it seems pretty solid.

Very nice looking machine you took home.

BTW can I have the cable setup. Figure I would to have it since it was said someone would want to buy it

[perry]

nice tractor , call the guy back and ask him where did he get it and where is the damn sickle bar ....

[GrincheyOne]

Sweet! Just so it meets your expectations Chris!

Cheers,

He got it from a guy in his 70's a few years ago in trade. Got it home tested it. Took the head off to find a mouse condo, after I was told it was kept in a heated shop and the guy assured me it was mouse free.

Only issue I see is the choke needs to be half out to run and the throttle cable slips when locked into position at full throttle slipping to mid throttle.

Sweeeeet!

Sounds like the twist-lock is stripped out. Time for a new cable.

[Talntedmrgreen]

Yeah, those twist locks have a limited life span. Vice Grips will do, until Ray ships you a new one

I saw that! Right up the road from my house. but I'm stuck at school in Platteville so you sneaked that one past me! Nice haul

[bowhunt4life]

He was asking a pretty high price but with a little bartering I was able to get it down to a deal I couldn't refuse. Plus he met me halfway.
