My newly acquired 129
I bought this 129 for my brother to use for snow removal, but I'm not so sure he wants it now. The PO had cut the frame to accommodate a larger engine (pulling???), so I purchased a 1650 frame to swap around and thought I'd put a hydraulic lift on it, so I bought a 1650 rearend with ported hydro. I have headlights for it, hydraulic package, and 42" front blade. I've already put a rebuilt carb on it. Then ran some sea foam through it, some yellow gunk like sap came out of the carb for 1 day, the next day it fired right up.....with lots of compression and absolutely no smoke after sitting for at least a year!!! Unfortunately, the second regulator on it under the hood (not for sure why the old regulator is still installed in the back with nothing hooked up to it) rolled smoke from the wires that got hot enough to roast a hot dog on---but I'm planning on getting a new harness installed soon and put things back right when I get some time. The pics are of the new frame & rearend still in the bed of my truck and the other pics are of the 129 as is.
