Thanks Diz!

Thanks guys!






Today, I spent most of the day working on the 100...Got it running, installed two sets of IH weights I had laying around, and took it for a drive after it being tore apart for several months.


Decided try the 100 as a puller (10 HP, 950lbs class), as well as a worker by bracing the stock hitch (no big hitch setup to change out between jobs).






Wondering how much the tractor would weigh, without weights...Anyone know?

It should weigh 765 lbs with fuel and 175 lb operator.

I dont know for sure. I weighed 905 sitting on my 71 that had Sears wheelweights. I'am about 210, making the tractor weight about 695.

Today, I put the ole' cement slab on a skid to use as another dead weight. Then went and got the 100 to see what I need to work on before the pull in 2 weeks.



Need to add a little weight to the tractor, but for being on wet grass (haven't practiced with the dead weight since last fall, and the dirt area had grown up)..It did pretty good! Tried it in 3rd gear a couple times, and it still had plenty of power, guess the new head gasket paid off!

Do you have the tires loaded? If not that should get you 50 +- more LBS.

I'm taking my mower deck to be welded (wheel is rusted out) on saturday and my intentions were to do one final cut of the "grass" today before I could get it back. The beginning of the week was high 90s low 100s and today was to be the nicest day (as well as my short day for work during the week). I said mow "grass" because only the weeks are growing here because of the lack of significant rain in the past 3 months.

Whatda ya know? We get a nice heavy soaking rain. No cutting today. Glad we are getting rain, but still....... it had to be today?

Nope. I would..But supposedly the pulling club does not allow filled tires.
