Thursday's Haul

[ss74nova 6]

Here's a haul I got from Fritz. I drove 3 hours one way for on Thursday in the beautiful NY countryside. Lots of pics. Everybody likes pics.

The tote contains an engine base, a worn bgb, some mid pto's & some deck arbors. Also got a manual for the weedcutter, A B-110 manual & a whole club site topic printout from Dave-Saratoga in 2004 when he designed & fabricated a modified snowblower hitch for the weedcutter. I didn't read the whole thing but it's nice to see past members like UCD, dutch, & the daddy cat helping with their input on the design even though I never knew them.

Nice tractor package. So then is that a snow blower hitch on the weedcutter? Miss seeing that 2004 crew sharing their insights.

Looks like a dream grab to me! Will 3-speed 12 horsepower tractors I've always been a favorite of mine and everyone is constantly on the watch for a weed cutter;)

The blower hitch almost looks modified a bit to me... I don't see an engagement letter and the primer color makes me wonder if it was repaired or changed at some point.

Noticed it has Hydrolift decal but has manual lift . Was it changed to manual?

Fine haul! I am looking for a weed cutter myself, one will pop up I have patience. BTW, nice old Ford! I enjoy seeing the vintage iron of all kinds doing their thing! 8D

id="quote">Thanks! The 2012 is one I've been waiting for. This one I think I will restore. I also want to find & put the hydraulic lift back in. Didn't come with it. The hitch is modified. The lever is there on the right side of the hitch but is a darker steel color, so it's hard to see. Let me get some more pics for you.

Here's some more pics of the modified Weedcutter hitch. I'll have to use the rest of the engagement from the single belt snow blower.
