Heres mine, 35+ years old Cub Cadet im told. This thing is a beast, does burnouts and at a dead stop if you punch it, the front tires will lift of the ground for a second lol. Shes a pure powerhouse!:w00t:
Hydrostatic to me is the only way to go! Shes had alota hours, but she still goes like a clock!



What do you have?

i used to have a john deere with a 12hp briggs on it that did 30mph. i stripped everything off it, it just had tires, a engine, steering wheel, and a seat. also had foot pegs off a bike on it so i had a place for my feet.
i put a smaller pully on the trans, with a smaller belt, also bypassed the governer so that when you turned the throttle up it was wide open. it was fast but handled like crap.

Here is my early 70's Bolens 850. It's 8.25 HP Wisconsin Engine does well. It's geared perfect. Has a mower and a roto-tiller. Also it features a Cobra muffler (from a 350X LOL) and a locking differential. I Love Old Tractors!!!!!!!

Weve got a 12 HP Craftsman, picked it up for 300 and runs like a champ, it will also do a wheelie from a stand still...

I have a terrible obsession with things that are old and from the past. I have a 124 and 126 Cub Cadet both late 60s early 70s and an "original" Cub Cadet 1963. Also have a 580 Case diesel and B275 IH diesel which could be easily outfitted with moto mowers or bush hogs. Oh, I also have a Bolens ??? from the 60s or 70s worm drive rear end missing motor- was going to put a hit and miss on it for fun :) . I also have a large hydraulic drive Exmark walk behind mower I just picked up, I may be getting a Dixie here shortly though... :)
The funny thing is that I am young enough where I still live with my parents and let me tell you they hate all my stuff, esp when an 18 year old kid has 3 riding lawnmowers and a shitload of old iron and machines i saved from the scrapper.

BTW Kintore- thats a nice Cub Cadet, better than that junk they sell us today. (If you can't tell im an IH person) They made the 109 from 71 up into 74. Even if that Kohler is rated for 10hp, they are sure powerful!! Cya.

Here is my Yanmar ym2000 I recently got, 24 hp diesel, with front end loader and 60" finishing mower, does pretty good, but my yard is hilly and I"m going to have to figure out how to add some weight to the rear tires so it won't spin lol http://webpages.charter.net/willchilds/yanmar.jpg

I have a Bolens 1050 with tiller and mower, it is a beast not near as good of shape as yours is though. They are a tuff mower tiller.

Here is a pic of my mower,it is a nice restored John Deere 110. It is a '67 model with the orginal old cast Kohler motor in it.I went threw the whole thing last year and it has new belts,blades etc. I get alot of compliments on her,and I think for a '67 she still does a pretty good job of mowing also!!!

Well we found the camera :w00t: so here are some pics. The John Deere uses a pull behind PTO mower thats 60" and works great even thought the diesel engine only puts out about 12hp. And then there is the wheelie popin craftsman. Burnt up a belt last weekend slammin on the brakes dropping the clutch, slammin, droppin, slammin, droppin lol it couldnt take it.

And BTW that John Deere is older than me by about 2 years so its pushing 19 years old.

Yea, it was a nice old truck, i dont remember alot about it either. I remember my dad cutting up ice cream pails for a rear tailight cover, he sold it when I was just a little kid too:cry: but he took the $ and bought a 1976 Toyota Land Cruiser fj-40:) but then he sold it:cry:
