It may have been Morris.. For a lawn/garden tractor it had hydraulic connections on the front and rear of the tractor.. Also a PTO to drive the rototiller which was around 30 inches. It sure made getting the garden ready to plant easy..

It sounds like way too much rain Shaun, some yrs it's never a happy medium.
Sounds like a real handy tractor Steve, they don`t make them like that any more.

yeah it is Morris. it is either feast or famine. At least I can say the drinking water reservoirs are filled to capacity here. . Some are starting to predict we might see snow around Thanksgiving.

Everything they make now is meant to be throw away usually the day after the warranty expires...lol

The motor is out of a 89 F350 that had a 5 speed zf42, no flywheel anymore. I'll trade you for the 4 speed Morris. Engine is still in 1 piece with some smog removed and has a ton of wiring still attached to it, its been tarped since I pulled it. When its warm in 2 days I'll put a socket on it to see how easy it turns over. I think the starter got stolen from it.

Its colder than it was supposed to be out here also which is probably why I haven't heard from the electrician.

Sad how some places are short of water while others are way too wet Shaun.
Nothing is like it used to be Steve, it's not all for the better either.
Most things cost too much to repair so landfills are full John. A few yrs ago we tried fixing our fridge, after 3 service calls we gave up.
Sounds like a road trip coming up this spring Perry. Let me know how it turns over, I`m interested. I have a few starters and other bits laying around. I don`t blame your electrician, I think mine is in hiding too.

I'm sure it won't be long before we'll need new ones, they have to be well over 10 years old now

Simple is good, they're not that way anymore. The dryer we have now is an ''electronic marvel'', I`m not impressed but it was a smokin` deal.
