I have a set of 23x8.5-12 Good Year somethings that are tractor tread design.

I would like to make them Duals for the 69 though the mower deck will have to come off for that to happen. Put a rear 3 point on the 69 as well I have some Cat 0 Implements and such and go have more fun in the garden

I have Deestone’s on both my roundfenders. My 110 I bought the 23x10.50 since they do run a size narrower. They are the same height wise as the original tires though.

used the 69 yesterday to put my ATV Wood trailer back in its storage location,
took me 1 attempt to get it back in there. With a ATV it has taken me 15 minutes to get lined up sometime's it seems like.

its a nothing special scrapper shack as I call them but they shed water for the most part.

also on Saturday I got a Fleet Pic as it was the last day that I had 3 deere's as I sold the 214

now I'm down to just 2 140's

Just a quick poser pic, i kinda like the crossed pick axe and the other tool as well, not for sure the name for second tool, grub axe maybe?

Mother's Day next weekend so putting together a hollow log flower station for the wife. The log is 24" across and has a hollow knot as well. its own its own slide from so can drag it where the wife wants and the fill with dirt.

So little wet outside today, i made up some battery hold downs since I was using a bungee cord before, think this his will keep the battery in place. the J hooks cost me 3.50

 

[sublime68charger]

Then I wondered if the bolts would rub on the hood so I cut them of flush at the top of the nuts, all should be good for now.


maybe some day I'll get the correct battery hold downs but this works for now.

Sublime,
Enjoying watching you pull together your 140. The tool looks like a mattock, but I can't tell from the photo if it's a pick or cutter.

Cheers,
Jon

its a cutter mattock once I had the name a quick google search yielded the style of it.

it works pretty good for breaking down beaver dams I due know that though it does take alot of elbow grease to work it!

Jongreen thanks for chiming in with the name of the tool!

Some work on the 69 the sleeve hitch is coming off and a 3 point is going on the sleeve hitch will be for sale soon if somebody is interested send me a pm with offer. I'm thinking $200 for price as its heavy duty homemade.

Draining the hydro transmission, had to use the a paper plate to divert oil to drain pan! also adjusted the F/R linkage hoping I don't have the foward drift when the lever is in neutral now.

 

[sublime68charger]

some more work on the 69 tonight,

worked on the creep have to crawl under the tractor and adjust where the linkage meets this cam lever. Fun times but with tractor up on jack stands and car ramps it wasn't quite so bad to adjust my transmission sure is dirty though I did take a wire brush and tried to knock of most of the crud on the transmission.

also did a fluid change while I'm at it.

 

[sublime68charger]

then putting in Auxiliary Hydraulics Rock Shaft lockout kit.

Had to drill a hole in the dash panel. had a moment when I had to drill into the green paint but I got over it and got the hole made for where the Lockout valve will go.

wasn't to bad to install now that I'm done. still have to pretty up the Hydro lines and make sure that they wont impact upon moving parts.

 

[sublime68charger]

they the reason for all this work is the OEM 3 point to put in the back of the tractor!

Got it install started tractor up and it goes up/down.

now have to put the rest of the tractor back together and put the cultivator on it and go give it a try out in the garden!

not the best pics but 3 point up,

then 3 point down I cycled threw 6 times or so just watching it go up and down and having a nice grin on my face just glad nobody out in the shop to notice.

also with lockout on/off to get a idea of the lag times due to running rock shaft then 3 point.

that's all for now, off on family camping trip for the weekend so maybe late Sunday afternoon I'll get back to the 140 and putting it all back together and working it some.

thanks for viewing!

[sublime68charger]

so she's all back together and ready for outside trials this weekend.

even wired up the tail lights and then had the lights on and closed the hood and burned out 1 of the front lights!

such is life I guess!

 

[sublime68charger]

got the 140 outside but now it's a member of the 1 headlight club along with Larry,

also go the cultivator hooked up and done a little bit a trial runs still need to due final adjustments and then off to the garden it will go.

on a rain delay right now.

 

[sublime68charger]

got a new light in and put that back on the tractor so that I have working light's not that I ever use them but I have them!

also some Pics of me backing up with the rear cultivator on it. I got it adjust now when its raised its about 4" out of the ground instead of the 1" its at in these pics.

I got a set of Pallet forks for the 140 made by ALZ welding.

put a pallet on the little forks I had and added some weight and drove around a area where I had pulled out some trees "4440 and a long cable ripped out stump and all from My Uncle" My Dad is pretty good for dirt work so he leveled area off with his Ford Boomer tractor and bucket. I finished up with the 69 140 and a pallet a and put a bucket of tires chains on it for weight and drove around getting the dirt leveled off. Kids decided that they wanted to ride on the pallet as well for weight made the 140 grunt a little more with all 3. worked pretty well with just 1 but I could pull all 3 just was not able to turn around is all.
