Danny and I rebuilt his David Bradley rake to work on the super. Amazing what you can build with a welder and a torch. And people think that kinda stuff aint related to cubbin! :biggrin2:

Danny was tring to do his best as my chip man. The PPE was just a bit big for him!

Thats awesome Vince!

I used the 71 to haul out some plants for the garden. I also watered them using the wagon cart with 6 ,5gal. buckets. Its been dry here. So I'am thinking I will soon have a 55gal. plastic barrel go in the IH # 2 cart, spicket the bottom of the barrel and use that as my water wagon. This friday / weekend I'll fire that project.:biggrin2:

I had to break down and show this one. I smeared more primer sealer on my model 72 this morning. Gosh was it ever a great day for morning / day for catching up!:beerchug:

Took about 7 loads of trimmings, leaves, etc from the front to dump back in the woods.... those 7 HP sure are torque-ey .

Great pics, guys!

Vince, I want my hitch to be like yours on your 1872.

We can do it. You and Jen come down for the weekend, the girls can go do what ever they do and me you and the boys will jump on that tractor and in no time youll leave with a CI rear and a sleve hitch style 3 point on it. If nuttin else, we will eat good, LMAO!

Sounds good to me, Vince! Jenn and I are always ready for a road trip.

Evan nad I was having another go at racing around the yard yesterday and we had a slip up! Mom and little sis came out side to play on the play set and I hollered at Evan to slow down and he hit the brakes on the 1864 in the turn and I couldn't get the 1650 stopped in time.:bigeyes: The 1650's front right tire hit the left rear on the 1864. I didn't even hear it break but saw the tire under the foot rest.:blush: I used a chain and the cat0 on the 1864 to take it to the garage. I've got an axle from Chip aka cub149 several months ago that I'm going to put in it. Super steer upgrade!:beer2:

I know how much Sam loves his pics!

Well I finally got to mow the yard with the 1711 this weekend. It mowed great. I finished up and went in to get a drink and hook up the yard sweeper and start doing that. Sat down to start the engine and it just turned, without wanting to start. I pulled the plugs and could smell that I was getting fuel. Checked for spark, and saw absolutely nothing. I got out the KT17 service manual and figured I would check the coil. Was supposed to get 4 to 5 ohms resistance with meter set at Rx1k and the probes touching the + and - posts. I got 3. Then I checked secondary resistance at the high tension lead posts. With the meter set to Rx100k I should have seen, 9,500 to 11,500 ohms resistance. The needle pegged zero. Oh well, new coil and plug wires ordered, will be here in the morning. Just to have it on and know it is new, I'll get a new fuel pump next and that should have most everything new and updated. I did purchase new points and condenser, but when I pulled the cover the points were brand new and the timing was set perfectly. The condenser checked out good also, as it too was new.

Duke , that's not going to buff out....:biggrin2:

Was the lecture about "....I told you two this was going to happen....." painful to endure?
