482 plow tractor
 

Well its been about a year and I just cant get into working on the super, aka the money pit, so I decided to start this. It will have a 124 rear with a command 18 eng. This will be a work in progress, lets hope this will be ready for the fall plow days. It will be Danny's and Im going to use the sears 3 pt on it seeing he likes it so much.

When you get the 482 Vince??:bigthink:

About a year ago. Joe and I split the tractor. He needed a good eng for his 482 so he took the running gear and I took the shell. We got the tractor from Earl, DaDuke.

I just swapped out the rears in this one and it runs much faster than the 582 rear.

So that's where that rear axle was going in to. Sweet pics!

Enjoyed your pics, Vince! Danny will love his tractor! :ThumbsUp:

Yea the one you hauled from Joe is in Vinces 582. I parted out a 124 that Scott has now that he put back togeather and used a 100 rear that he bought from the guy I sold Vinces 100 to last year on the way to Jim Moores plow day. Talk about reycled parts!

Dang you guys do more swaping them swamp flies!

She should be pretty stout with the 124 rear bolted in Vince...looks like a fun project!! :beerchug:

Danny got a good bit of work done on the 482. We checked out his steering system and the scuffed up the paint. and my JD buddy stopped over today and took the 582 for a ride. Theres hope for him yet!

Looks like Danny is doing a great job! :beerchug:

Chumlee, that's almost a shame to do that to a 482. 482's are kind of hard to come by these days. Mine is in terrible shape, but it's in pieces now waiting to get redone. I just need to come up with the cash to have it powdercoated.

I now but seeing that I dont do the restore thing thats why the running gear went to Joe so he can have his corect. The dash is cracked up bad but I think it will be fine for a while. I really like these tractors.

Lie BB says, Im kida a big guy so Ill enjoy the extra room.

PA FOLKS
 

Back in the day, we north of the border of pa, would say theirs 2 kinds of dudes from PA. Woodchucks,or ridge runners!! But I think MR. OchO,is a hybred version. nice job on the 482! where were all these, Oh U should have kept the 482 stock their rare, when I was trying to sell it??? the Mt airy dude will do his 482 proud, and yours will be a sleeper like Stegals LOL!
DaDuke of:beer2:

Yes Earl your right, I may be a ridge runner, or running off the ridge, LOL

Yea I dont feel so bad as Joes tractor was straight if I remember right, he has so many.

I wish I could build one like Jackie dose. You should of seen me on Bobs 582 it had me a little nervous. It dosnt have wheelie bars on the back and I was afraid if I stomped it I would flip it. Not to mention it has no GOV IN IT!

I was :Pray: ing all the way down the road I wouldnt hurt it. Dang that thig was fun to ride!

Ok were on lunch break. We got the rear in all the tires on. I found that the brake rod dosnt line up, cause of the right angle gear box set up, but we took the brake lever out and we will get it bake in place after lunch. This has been the easyest one Ive ever taken out. I only hit my fingers twice Now I hope the clutch set up goes as easy!

One other thing, you folks that own the early ZForce zero turns will have to do this when your handles get stiff. Polish and use pleany of anti seize!

Sweet pics Vince even the last one!:biggrin2:

Yes Duke, the best is the plow day sticker on the back shelve, don't know about the mokanic in the for ground he seems cornfused??? LOL
DaDuke of:beerchug:

Nice work, Danny & Vince! :ThumbsUp:

Earl, thats on my welding helmet. The camera adds about 10 LBS dont it, LOL

Chumlee we've never met in person, but I doubt that BB would ever steer me wrong. Especially with your size!

A little more work done yesterday.

Used the clutch driver from Mid west and used the longer clutch fork from them also. The blue spring came from Chris, I use that one in my 106. I cant belive how easy it is to push in the clutch. Im going to put one on Vinces 582 with the red spring.

Thanks for the update pics, Vince! :beerchug:

482 super upgrade!
 

Nice fabracation work, got the boys there helping! like U said it's a hobby that leads to other things! like team work from siblings (rare)! love that that wimpie 482, is now a bear of a machine! still a red IH design with CCC/MTD upgrades! Love to see it plow soon!!
DaDuke of:IH Trusted Hand:

Earl, I bet you can see it plow up at the Mayfield pd in TN. You should come!

Ice cream plow day!
 

Should have my 1541 plow machine finished in time, just got to talk my bro-inlaw to going! he's got alike new 35' camper we could stay in but it will cost us a cool 600$ in transport fees! U young guys with jobs got the dough! we on soc. sec. got limited funds! still would love to check out the diesney land of milk farms ! but could save cookie money i suspose! U always promoting the cause, we need locale events we can plow at, this is alarge state, with only one function, in Albemarle going on! Elbert Jollie out east said something
about an event but nothing since?? we need to talk about my belonging to a HMA at high rock lake that pays $5k ayear to mow, (APPOX. 1 site thats 11acres) other areas are less, could save HMA $3k ayr. but we would need a mow day a month or plow every 3months??? Thanks DaDuke

More than likely it will be disking again. This may be the last year Danny disks then he will start plowing.

Vince nice job on the conversion. Those Command engines are for sure good running engines. Will be a sweet little plow tractor. I just did that conversion on my 682. Full hydraulics and the whole shooting match. Had to build a custom exhaust because my motor came out of a 2185 and was no way to install that system in my tractor anyways it was way to quiet. Got it sounding like a Sportser now. Oh can I borrow your helpers. lol

You want Danny? He wont go to bed, hes afraid he will miss something. Today you could had both of them, real cheap, lol I would have traded them for a dang QL as much as they were fighting!
