Grampa's 244-H

[Kingwood990]

Well here it is. I have been waiting years to get this tractor. My grampa bought it new in 1994 from Aldridge-Durham Saw & Mower, Inc. For the first year he was to proud to use it, so it sat in the shed while my dad mowed his yard with a Craftsman. My grampa only used the tractor for a few years before he got sick. After that my dad and I were the only people to use the tractor. I have spent many hours mowing on this machine. It was the first tractor I learned how to operate. I estimate that there is less than 300 hours on the tractor.

The first set of pictures are from when it just was unloaded after sitting for 3 years. I was the last person to run this tractor. The reason why we parked it is the battery died and we just did not have the time to get another one.

I could not stand to see it dirty. So I gave it a quick bath.

I need to clean the carb before it will run. It ran for a few seconds off of carb cleaner.
