So, I'll enter Kablewie, to get things started. Kablewie is painted ford blue , but realy started life as a Jacobsen. There is orange paint on it and the number plate says it's a homelite textron. I would say it was a 16 hp tractor first, because it has the large gas tank, hour metre and adjustable seat. I call it a ford because of the paint on it now.
When I bought it, there was a 12 hp engine in it. It worked good. I cut grass, did all the garden work and blew snow with it. The 12 engine split the piston, so we put a 14 hp engine in, I fixed the 12 hp engine for a spare, good thing I did, the 14 engine seized up the rod on the crank and broke the rod. Block still good. So , put the rebuilt 12 back in. Have yet to rebuild the 14 engine. Better do it soon, if the crank is useable. So kablewie is still doing all the garden work, and I have a new cultivator coming for it, thanks Jim, and it still does snow removal. No grass cutting this year.
When I bought it, it came with , the tractor, two 50" decks, snow plow, tandem disks and a few extra spare engines. We found and bought the snow blower for it later. A neat feature on this tractor, is the front hydraulic ports. I hooked up a cylinder on the top chute of the snowblower last year.
Thanks for looking and get your tractor entered.
