Where did you get the lining

Nice Job. Thanks for the McMaster Carr link. They do have everything.

Modify the hood scoop & diesel on.

base unit 1,700lbs. :attachments 1500lbs: trailer 2 x 3,500lbs axles crunch the numbers

A pump-up garden srayer with 50/50 mix of oil/gas is very useful with these "abandoned for years" projects

Hope you’re doing good

Wow. This 2000 has seen much work. Could not reason why water in transverse case. Aha! Shift lever exposed to falling rain. Rain follows lever and enters at lever base. Needs a weather boot!

Had you ever tried a bath with dissolved citric acid to clean rust out? My grand used lemon juice to clean small rusted parts

If you said what you use for glue I am sorry but I missed it. Could you please tell us? Art from Ohio

Bearing number you found ? Thank you.

Good job. I'm trying to find an exploded view of this transaxle. I have a 1965/ 1966 ish Sears Custom 6 with this trans.

I just finished both of my tractors. I works fabulously. Total cost for both was around 30 dollars. The only thing I did different was, after gluing I wrapped the assembly around a 4 inch piece of pipe instead of using clamps. For those folks who say it's easier to just buy one, good luck with that. As of May 2023, it's no longer available. Well done, Sir. Great solution 😎

After 6 years, how has is held up?

Daddy got a ‘77 that was repossessed and sent back to Sears. He bought it in Rome, Ga in 1978. It was a 14/6. We mowed and hauled and rode that thing until Daddy got an ‘87 brand new. Man, we and the neighborhood kids learned to drive on that beast! Love the video..what I wouldn’t do to come and ride on one.😎

Very nice

You did great with your work. I used to be in business for myself doing media blasting mostly automotive related. I would have been embarrassed to let a customer leave my shop with work that looks that bad. Now I am a wee bit obsessive about doing things the right way. But yuck that was a lousy job.

Take that Ballesteros box off the front. You don't need that when you have the front end loader on

Did I miss it? Do we know why it was parked?

Have you ever taken any track links out and any video of it

For your next project look into using a love-joy coupler on hydraulic pump eliminating v belt and adjustment. If possible adapter plate off of shroud mounting bolts, one time alignment. Also maybe pipe instead of hydraulic hose for long and non articulating joints. It does get expensive, nice job, good luck

I just wonder how easy or hard it is to come across that transmission?? Part numbers??

I wonder if I guy could squeezed a flat horizontal shaft twin cylinder 18 or 20 HP in that tractor? Then find a way to put that double pulls to work on a modified drive pulley on the box?

I will be picking up a md 1600 in a couple a weeks to rebuild with my niece fun times

Once the tracks stretch/ hey will keep coming off

Had one tracks kept falling off junk

I'm trying to find the snow blower in the front loader they made for the 14/6 and the 16 6 but I'm not having much luck, could you help me track one down? As well as the snowblower I'm trying to find as well

What is the "material?"

Great work and thanks for sharing with us, but most importantly your kids. God Speed

Super cool. 👍

I am a Sears repair guy. That’s cool

When those old hydraulic lines sit for a few years, or sometimes one, especially out in the weather they rot. When you run fluid through them again and get them hot they leak if you’re lucky - rupture if you’re not.

could you tell me what you are glueing the brake lining on with and how did you get the old liner off

Did you decide to sell........:)

You can yack away all you like. It's a good well done show. A good hands on show. Nice work.

Do you still have the struck dozer ? I had a 1967 still kicking myself for selling it. If you you ever want to sell, I'm definitely a buyer. Fyi.. kzbin.info35GfxaZPsKA?feature=share I'm in Eagle River, Wisconsin but willing to travel to pick it up... kzbin.info35GfxaZPsKA?feature=share

I have a 1968 dodge power Wagon i would trade you

Looks fantastic!

Really enjoyed your video. These log arches are great projects.

This is cool. When I built mine I simply collected and cut the metal. But I had to call on a friend to weld it for me. It is great that you can weld your ideas! I like the spindles you used. I used an old trailer axle (I had fun making a video of it).

Let me know if you find a deck for one of these I have a Sears 12/6 but I don't have the deck the bearings blew and my grandfather chucked it

I've got a mtd early 80s model 2055 and let me inform you of something even thow the blades on that good deck are old they can be sharpened with a angle grinder easily. I do it on all of my mowers. Don't change them just take them off sharpen them and put them back on. It work everytime.

Would you happen to know how many teeth are on the sprokets that go from the transaxle to the brakes and to the track drive axles? I think there's 8 of them all together.

I love this. I literally have the exact same two tractors 14/6 and a 10/6.

Wear hearing protection!

If you call struck you can get all your parts that you need to repair your machine so this is what I would do .

Dude that thing is too cool. I want one.

Replaced v twin Honda with a predator about 12 years ago on a ditch witch trencher it has been used hard in rocky ground and held up change the oil an keep the air filter clean. I think you'll be very happy with your purchase.

Sorriest sandblasting i've ever seen, get your money back.

Junk

Have you heard of Aero kroil diesel Creek Matt uses it works great
