I think i have a spicer in my craftsman. it has held up very well.

spicers are better than hydros! just keep it around 12 mph.

I run mine at 23 MPH and don't have any issues.

The thing with this Hydro is that it's really well oil lubricated so it's not as bad as you think.

I'll plan on pulling the motor and spicer out of this tractor so I have the parts in stock and not sitting in the woods at the farm.  This spicer should go in my john deere pretty easily.

I'm not sure how the spicer would handle your tires. Might be ok with a light pulley swap though.

Im running one in my craftsman. The input bevel gear was slightly chewed up when i got it and i've had no issues with it. Im running a 6in front pulley, 3in rear pulley with 22x11 tires, weld diff, ungoverned motor and my 150ish lbs on top of it doing 3rd gear clutch drops on it. Havent broke it yet.

Thought I’d get in on this diesel sears craze....



Let me know what you guys think!

Put a blower on it!!!!

Seriously if would be cool to use that hood and grille on a real modified tractor project.

I think that's a pretty cool little unit, be neat to see it all restored and stuff. W's mad though, because it says it's a diesel even though it's not.

I think I had something like that when I was little, I can kinda remember, LOL.

This was my dad’s old tractor. Might enter it in the buildoff as a joke for the admins

No I'm not! I mentioned jokingly in the chat that it was false advertising.

Holy crap!

Oh yeah, everything in my area is way overpriced.

It's new mower syndrome, they buy it and are so excited to mow their 2 ft tall yard that they don't check the oil .......amd most people don't check the oil ever . Always see engines with blown con rods from that.

I was kinda thinking the same thing. Not a drop of oil in or around that big hole in the block.

Hmmm, this is kinda neat.

Oh and I want to punch this guy for ruining this 110!

That's a lot of money for something that looks like it has been lightly modified. Cool find though. Although I'd prefer wheel bars like Mighty has on Sasquatch II, not that big thing.

Well I wasn't planning on getting it, just thought it was kinda neat.

In other news... Scientists say Uranus smells like farts and rotten eggs!

LOL, I ain't going there!

That’s pretty funny

I’m glad that Oxford university is right on this one.

...IDK what to say....

Looks like a waste of a perfectly good V-twin LOL.

Just finished building a temporary coop for my hens because they need to stay out of their normal run/coop to let the grass grow again.

Btw the green curtain over the door is to stop magpies and other birds getting in and eating the feed/eggs.
