| Thanks! It's a 1967 c10 long bed stepside 283sbc standard 3spd. It was my dads first vehicle that he ever owned. Been in the faimly for 30 years now. Been sitting in a barn since 1998 pulled it out last year so it had been in there for 20 years. My dad ran it every 5 years or so. But It runs again, I'm working on brake lines right now and replacing them all because their all original and in rough shape. | |

| That ol' JD is a real beaut! Looks like a mid to late 70's unit, given the muffler and the dual pedals.
Looks like she's in great shape! _______________________________________________ "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* - Allis B-110 x2, 710 & 716 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic & 1668 - Cub 106 & 124 - Ford LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss | |

| Thanks guys! Yeah I ran the numbers on the john deere and it comes up to be a 1973. But she needs a rebuild cause it burns oil like mad and smoke's like a freight train but it runs good though. I had the head off once and you could move the piston back and forth in the bore so shes alittle wore out.  | |

| I'm really digging the horse! I really like the PTO pedal used as a gas pedal. That same setup would work on my 702. | |

| Sweet deal! I'd love a blade like that for my 655, they have that super neat handle that lets you angle the blade from the tractor too. _______________________________________________ "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* - Allis B-110 x2, 710 & 716 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic & 1668 - Cub 106 & 124 - Ford LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss | |

| Yeah they're pretty nice and easy to use. I've gotta plan to make it skinnier so it will fit between my rear tires that I think will turn out pretty slick and you probably wont be able to tell if you didnt know what you were looking at. | |

| So I've decided that I'm gonna make a hitch for the back of brutus so that I can pull stuff with it and it would also be nice to have a nice attaching point since I dont have a rear bumper  . I never got a hitch with mine and I dont feel like buying one so I'm gonna make one out of this 1 in x 2 in C channel. I would like 1/2 in bar stock but I dont have any of that plus I'm not going to be doing anything to crazy with it anyway. But itll be built similar to the way wheel horse built them from factory  .  | |

| Nice idea! That piece of C-channel should be perfect for a drawbar, can't imagine it'll bend or anything. _______________________________________________ "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* - Allis B-110 x2, 710 & 716 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic & 1668 - Cub 106 & 124 - Ford LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss | |

| Yeah. I normally like to completely over build stuff but this time I just dont have the steel to over build it with. I think instead of using a 3/4 inch pin to hold the hitch on, I'm gonna instead put bushings in the holes and step it down to half inch. The reason is that I've tried putting a 3/4 inch bolt through the hole but it's a tight fit and you pretty much have to beat it in there but I've seen it more than once where the pins decided to rust weld themselves to the transmission and then you gotta cut it apart and drive the pin out  . So to save myself the headache I'll just use a half inch pin.....should be strong enough to do what I want......hopefully  | |

| Haha, yeah the pin for the slot hitch was seized super bad on my 655 when I got it and I had to cut it apart and use heat to get the pins driven out. Kind of a pain but it was totally worth it to be able to use the slot hitch. _______________________________________________ "This'll either wake you up or put you to sleep forever!"- Red Green "Whatever you do you should do right, even if it's something wrong." - Hank Hill - MTD Off-Road Build - Ford LT 110 Off-Road Build - Craftsman GT 6000 Off-Road Build - Sears LT11 Rat Rod Build *2019 Build-Off Winner!* - Allis B-110 x2, 710 & 716 - Wheel Horse 655, 953 & 500 Special - Case 444 - Bolens Versamatic & 1668 - Cub 106 & 124 - Ford LGT 125 & 145 - White 1650 Yard Boss | |

| Yes! Someone who understands my pain!  Hopefully tomorrow I can chuck a piece of brass up in the lathe at school and make some bushings. | |

| Well I started to make some bushing. Got the 1/2 inch hole drilled and the ends faced. Gotta wait till Monday to work on it more.  | |

| Sweat! I'll do that if I ever have to upgrade it. But first thing I need to do is work on the blade. Poor thing is so rotten I'm probably gonna sand blast it. | |
