That time of the year....................needed to get the garden turned over this fall Anyone care to guess whats powering this old girl?????????
looks like an engine in the pic, but that could just be there for looks and we just can't see the long extension cord
Looks like the Cat emblem so that would be my guess. I saw that working this morning when I was going to the mall, was that you driving it Rotti?
She is a vintage Steiger which started out in life with a 3208 Cat. The Cat blew up after about 4 or 5 years and was replaced with a naturally aspirated MACK truck motor with a Mack 5 and 4 Tranny after stretching the frame about 4 feet. That ran for the last 12 years until it blew a head gasket this summer. A week ago, we pulled the old Mack and tranny and replaced it with a newer Mack twin turbo and a 5 and 2 Mack tranny. When Chris F. saw it this morning it was dragging that 24 ft. sub-soiler across the field in 4th gear, high range and not even grunting. Figure it has between 450 & 500 h.p. at the wheels and the motor is all mechanical, no computer on this puppy.
