Keeping busy in the off season

[bluemonster1]

In my spare time I decided to manufacture my own bearing,bushing remover.So got a whole bunch of scrap metal and spare hydraulic and put my mig welder to use.This is what it looks like after being painted.Works great to,tried it on a idler wheel and pops bearing out and back in quick and easy.

keepin busy

got this 1969 IH Farmall tractor from my mom after she sold the farm.It was really dirty and oil saturated after 41 years.I decided to power wash it,clean it up good and repaint the tractor.Fixed the seat and exhaust at the same time and other little things.

Here is a few pics of it.It was a row crop tractor that we used in the market garden operation our family had years back.I still remember getting off the school bus and running to the back yard seeing the tractor was delivered that day.I was only 13 years old.It was a big deal in them days as the tractor was put to use in many different ways.
I was using it last week ,so got the tires a little dirty.Really runs good and starts easily to.

How about a rebuild on that SRX? You won't believe the difference..

not right now,that would take up some $$$.I have like 8 months to decide what to do with my sleds.Right now I don't have the cash to spend on the sleds.Might be riding the Arctic Cat next season( since the motor was rebuilt).lol

It is nice, you can get a good price for that and spend the money on the srx.

I was told to put it on e-bay and could fetch 3 to 5 thousand for it.Thinking of it or locally on Kijiji.Long live the SRX then..lol
