fishnwiz 3,290 Posted November 15, 2015 Here I go again! A past client of mine that I did a tractor repair for several years ago called me with a phone message on a tractor on the side of he road for free. I hooked up my trailer and high tailed over to get the freebie. When I pulled up owner came out and asked me to PLEASE take the tractor out of his yard. Being the nice guy that I am I took the darn thing off of his hands for him. Tractor needs a weld on the steering knuckle but started right up and ran awesome. Owner told me that tractor "came with the house" and worked good until steering gave out.Glad I could help the guy out!;)Interesting engine and well built tractor.

macallis180 296 Posted November 16, 2015 Holy cow! I and many other members definatly live in the wrong area! Good for you. A hydro, with shaft drive = a real plus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
fishnwiz 3,290 Posted November 16, 2015 Yes...horizontal shaft drive engine. Not very familiar at all with these engines. It seems from what I can tell, most people love these units but parts can be hard to come by. Definitely an over engineered tractor. Guess I won't be dropping this engine into any Simplicity tractors anytime soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hick 2,229 Posted November 17, 2015 How do you sleep at night? QUITE WELL?? Yeah, me too! My Deutz-Allis was free for hauling away, too! Clean-up at our Church Camp. Sold the Trailer & blower, gave that money back to the camp. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
