My entry is a 1968 Sears SS12, that I have converted into the SkiTractor. During the dead of winter, I do some logging, and at times, my Alpine Twintrack snowmobile has traction problems on the 300 yard beaver pond crossing that I have to make. I didn't want to stud the Alpine tracks, as that's hard on them, and they're very expensive.
I figured chains would be the answer, so I added the dualies and chained them up. I haven't been able to get out on the glare ice yet, because we haven't had much of a winter yet, but after doing the test run, I'm confident it'll work fine.

The time was November of 2010, I had decided to get a snowblower, I started to look around and Found a Ford LGT145 that was pretty nice it had a nice blower attached and was going to be perfect for my application. So, I went to look at it and was pretty impressed. At the same time another tractor a Case 224 showed up on Craigslist about 2 hours from my house...so I did what any normal red blooded American would do I went to the tractor forums and asked a 'general' question. I only had a couple of photos of the two tractors they were downloaded from Craigslist. Since I wasn't really a regular I didn't know what to expect.

Congratulations to Troy for winning Decembers tractor of the month 2011! It was a super close race this month but Troy pulled it out in the end with a great tractor and a great story. Something definitely to be proud of.
Well, here is our Christmas display from three years ago. I've been wanting to do this type of display for years, but Dad wouldn't hear of it, due to him being fussy about his front yard. Anyway, Mom finally made us do it.

Congratulations to Alan(MH81) for winning one of our favorite tractor of the month themes which is "Ugly Tractor of the Month". Member wvbuzzmaster nominated Alan's Massey MF12H. Here is Alan's description of the tractor.
I bought this tractor from Casey this spring at the FCVAEC Plow Day. It took 6 guys, one tractor and a lot of headshaking with laughter to get this thing off Casey's trailer and onto mine. If I'd have known how little it would take to drive it, I would've saved everyone a lot of trouble.

Congrats to Daniel for winning Featured Tractor of the Month for September 2011. This months feature theme was all about the implements.
So I enter my "built from scratch" FEL. I built it from complete scratch in 2005, onto a modified Massey 1650 chassis. I originally had a single bucket tilt cylinder, but a few years later, I changed it to twin tilt cylinders for more tilt power. Here are pictures of it's 6yrs of evolving. ...by Published on 08-10-2011 02:38 PMCategories:
I didn't get to spend as much time at this show as I would have liked to due to other commitments. This was my first time at the show after being told from quite a few people that it is a nice show. After being there I can definitely agree that they do have a great show at Menges Mills. They have a very nice layout along with some great shade cover from all of the mature trees and the ground is fairly level as well so it makes for easier walking.

Yesterday I attended the 49th annual Portersville, PA show hosted by the Northwest PA Steam Engine and Old Equipment Association. I was met there by member WVBuzzmaster (Casey) and member Tractorgarden (Shawn).
We all took in the show where the feature this year was Power King / Economy tractors. There was a nice showing of PK's there of all shapes, ages, and ...Published on 08-02-2011 06:50 PM
We want to congratulate Ray for winning GTtalk's Featured Tractor of the Month for August 2011. This month was some impressive competition as well as a couple of record breakers. We had 15 total nominations which is the most we have had ever and we also made a new record with 127 votes being cast.
I'm going to put up a 1948 Bolens Ridemaster that is defiantly a "survivor".
The old guy that I bought this from was still using it to work up a small garden until about two years before I got it.

This was my first ever trip to the Wheel Horse Collector's Club's annual show in Arentsdale, PA. I had no idea what to expect when we arrived. Knowing that it's the largest & most well attended single brand annual show in the country, I eagerly anticipated the trip all week...We were not to be disappointed!...

Congratulations to IamSherwood for winning June's Featured Garden Tractor of the Month with his 1972 Massey Ferguson MF14 garden tractor with a Haban sickle bar mower and 3pt rear lift. The nominations for this month were outstanding and made for a very tough decision. Especially going against a David Bradley Tri-Trac.

We had a great time at the 17th Annual Little Guys Show this year which was held May 21,22 at Rentzel's farm in Mt. Wolf, PA. I was there by myself on Saturday and did my best with getting as many photos as I could which I have all of them posted in the gallery at: 17th Annual Little Guys Show

This years upcoming Old Tyme Days show August 19th to the 21st 2011 is going to be awesome. The garden tractor scene is growing at a terrific pace and shows are realizing this now more then ever. LAGC is going to be there and they have titled it their Eastern Extravaganza. GTtalk will also be there as well. We are looking forward to meeting the crew from LAGC.

The 6th Annual PA Plow Day was a great time. This year we decided to get a hotel room so we wouldn't have to drive back and forth and it was actually cheaper staying then it would have been paying for gas. We got up to Danville around 8am on Friday. The weather Friday was absolutely perfect. When we got there it was great having such a nice welcome and everyone's willingness to lend a hand.

I have learned how to test a starter generator with it still hooked to the engine to make sure it is charging and I am passing this knowledge along to those that feel capable. The engine should be bolted down during this test, usually on the tractor you are working on or if it is a stand alone unit, a good sized board. I performed this very test on my 1977 Case 444 with 14 HP Kohler K321 engine within the last 12 hours and can verify this procedure to work.

Fred (meangreen) is the winner for Featured Tractor of the Month for May 2011.
Fred had been wanting a 430 for as long as I've known him. All of them he saw for sale either went too high priced, or were too far away to go get. Finally one came up within reasonable distance, but Fred was going to let it pass because he couldn't let go of the cash. I wouldn't let that happen, so I kept prodding & he caved. ...
