| I've started working on this thing again, so I figured it might as well make a thread. I got this a few years ago for $50, and it didn't run. After rebuilding the carb, putting on a new coil, points, and condenser it ran. I welded up a ghetto plow mount and used it to plow. Well I let my girlfriend drive it off the trailer, and she didn't understand the whole "manual trans" thing and ended up breaking the shifter, so it sat for a few years while I bought a house. I'm finally tearing into it. Here it is as she sit's tonight. ![1970's Massey Ferguson MF1200 Garden Tractor IMAG0072_zps8749dae4](https://2img.net/h/i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/Moloko68/IMAG0072_zps8749dae4.jpg) ![1970's Massey Ferguson MF1200 Garden Tractor IMAG0067_zpsaea6bb20](https://2img.net/h/i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/Moloko68/IMAG0067_zpsaea6bb20.jpg) I also bought some new meats for the back tires. Painted up the old rims with some hammered paint. ![1970's Massey Ferguson MF1200 Garden Tractor IMAG0070_zps94998e68](https://2img.net/h/i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/Moloko68/IMAG0070_zps94998e68.jpg) ![1970's Massey Ferguson MF1200 Garden Tractor IMAG0071_zps21297da4](https://2img.net/h/i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/Moloko68/IMAG0071_zps21297da4.jpg) | |

| Finally got to work on this again. We got the trans apart. Took a 20 ton shop press to get the hub off, and a torch. I didn't lock the diff, because we lost ambition, but it turns out both shift forks were bent in the trans. I fixed them, and put it back together. Painted it up tonight. Hopefully will put it back in the tractor tomorrow. I lost the key for the brake drum, so I have to pick that up tomorrow before I can do any more. ![1970's Massey Ferguson MF1200 Garden Tractor IMAG0122_zps6eea84e6](https://2img.net/h/i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/Moloko68/IMAG0122_zps6eea84e6.jpg) ![1970's Massey Ferguson MF1200 Garden Tractor IMAG0121_zps06171cb4](https://2img.net/h/i68.photobucket.com/albums/i2/Moloko68/IMAG0121_zps06171cb4.jpg) | |

| Finished it up today, but its parked in by my girlfriend's Chevette and I can't get it out of the garage. Had to change the gas tank to this one. I'm proud of my installation technique. ![1970's Massey Ferguson MF1200 Garden Tractor 1800209_10100632814915897_1811180648_n](https://scontent-b-lga.xx.fbcdn.net/hphotos-frc1/t1/1800209_10100632814915897_1811180648_n.jpg) | |

| You'd be surprised at how many aircraft leading edges on the wings are held together with RTV and zip ties.
I think we have all used this temporary installation technique LOL | |

| Stacks are simple and effective, if ya keep the shiny side up. Elsewise, one needs to engineer a fail point, Like Doc did for mule II. One suggestion though... If you plan on leaving it outside, find a can to put over the stack when not in use... It minimizes the "Rain Gauge" effect. | |
