I wish mine was that simple to repair! Mine sat in the weather for 3 years while my grandpa surcomed to lou gerigs disese. after his death i inherated it and there was water in every singe case:bang: complete tractor rebuild later and haven't regreted anything.

I've heard of one instance where the tractor was left outside for a few winters and water found its way into the tranny and the bearings had to be replaced. I try not to be too tough on the front end; the keys in the spindles wore out and the steering was pretty wobbly when I got it. Hauling wood barely works the motor; I run out of traction first. You've got a good-looking hauler with lots of family history.

Looks familiar, only mine is the Polaris. Same color though.
 
Of course! Loggers are just rolling in money. Everybody knows that. Or thinks they do. :msp_rolleyes:

Actually, none of the stuff I posted in those three pictures belongs to me. I've operated, driven, or run all of them at one time or another, but none of them are mine. Mine are ugly and some are quite old...but they are paid for.

Just like me. :msp_thumbup:

I got a pickup and a saw..... :msp_mellow:

I was lucky. Water ate everything but the transmission. I have the rear tires filled and it will still loose traction before it even thinks of stalling the engine. And it even only has the Wisconsin aenl 9.2 HP. Love that engine very torquey!
 
We all praise, dislike, argue, agree, on how to cut wood, what saw works best, what bar/chain combo to use and so on but, we still need to haul it all out. so what do you guys use to get the wood from woods to the stack? I use my 1961 Economy Tractor. It goes anyware and hauls anything! Oh and its been doing it for our family for over 50 years too!

Is that a factory trailer? If so, what is the make/model? If you made it, aces!

No sir, the tires, axle studs, and lower portion of the cart were from a purchased trailer that I was very unhappy with so I built it to how I wanted it to me. Lots stronger, better ground clearance, better articulation, and wood storage. Here's some build pictures.
