Saved another one

[Hammermechanicman]

got a guy who likes to pick up things like this and then brings them to me to get them running. Thus is a mid 50's Tiger Tractor made in west Virginia. Couldn't save the carb so had to replace it and swap out the throttle shaft to make the AM carb work. Fixed the hydraulics. Put a kill switch on it. Cleaned the gas tank out. I have done a half dozen or so of things like this for him. Real fun to rope start.

Look how thick that rear fender is. Bet she still runs even with no air filter.

One speed. SLOW! it will climb a steep ramp at idle. The thing was designed to do actual plowing. Parts of it is built like a tank. Front wheel hubs are cast iron. You can see Tiger in the casting. The front axle is cast iron. Rear end is a modified crosley car rear end. 60 series chains in the drives. Steering it is a real treat too!
