From the looks of the tires (if they're still the originals) the tractor certainly hasn't seen much abuse. That will be a cute little parade tractor all dolled up. Or even used and kept in its original work clothes as is!! If mice haven't found a way into it, it probably won't take too much...

^^^^^ What @D2Cat says. In our area, the little "Pony's" are quite collectible and can command quite a high price depending on condition.

My homebuilt "aftermarket" removeable cab comes off when winter snow removal duties are over with. But during our sub zero outdoor temps in the winter....the plumbed in Jegs heater can easily have the inside temp at +80°F no matter how cold it is outside. Large rear facing mirror inside makes...

Being able to state that the engine is not stuck will also help bring up the value. Before you do anything to detemine if it is or not.....pull the spark plugs and douse each cylinder with good penetrating oil (kroil, etc.) and let sit a few days before trying to turn the engine crankshaft...

Since you have both a soldering iron and gun, you probably know about and also have what's called a "solder sucker". If not; It can be a necessary tool to help desolder and seperate components. A pretty simple device that once you heat the soldered connection and activate the "sucker" will...

With all the corrosion on the diode plate assembly, it might be hard to get any correct and true readings in a diode test. Do you have a way to clean the diode plate assembly? Such as a soda blaster, or even a very light & quick sand blasting with some very fine abbrasives. From the looks...

@timsch Once you get the alternator apart, there's many tutorials (both youtube and written) on checking & testing the alternator parts individually and as a whole working unit. For example: a good general cleaning, making sure the isolators are in good shape, testing the diodes in the diode...

skeets, I can remember watching that video on a few Christmas holidays in the mid and late '50s. And my babysitter during that timeframe was the nicest young lady (also a switchboard operator for Bell Systems) that looked eerily just like one of those gals in the video. Those were the days...

RWS if you still have your old control board...take a look at my post #57 here. I was having pretty much the same problem on my gas furnace. A little trouble shooting and a bit of luck led me to take the control board out and have a very close look at the solder joints in the area of the...

I just want to win this weekend's powerball lottery so I can fulfill all of your wishes with all the added bling you can add to them! And if there was any $ left over, I've been eyeballing the same Precision Matthews mill above that @dlsmith posted the pic of.

Plant 175, It's been a couple of years since my neighbor and myself bought our Samurai cutter. The first season of use was so-so with a learning curve and realizing that you could not feed it with more than one or two at the most larger branches. I think it's stated cutting capacity is a bit...

BruceMc, your "Tractor Tuxedo" is on its way to you!! Your tractor will be stylish and warm in that -40° F Alaskan outdoors! Maybe some scenic winter Kubota pics in the Alaskan wild country are in the near future?? :) David

:ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: :ROFLMAO: Bruce, I can personally attest to the fact that you're not the only one to not notice the date on a prior post. I do the same!! I replied to your message, too. Thanks David

Greetings "Northern Neighbor". Yes, the covers are held in place with strong magnets sewn within the hems. So....easy on/off with no tools or mods to your tractor. I have a B2650 like you, and it was the model for the first set of covers made. You can see the list of models I have...

You'll now need a short sleeved Hawaiin shirt to wear while moving snow!! :ROFLMAO:
