    Came across this case Sunday. Needless to say, I couldn't pass it up at the price point. 20220808_180104.jpg 20220808_180114.jpg 20220808_180128.jpg 20220808_180207.jpg

    The Onan was swapped for a 16 horse Briggs. I stumbled upon a 81 year old man's collection. Originally went to look at a speedex. Glad I did!

    Going to need some forks. I really believe this will change my whole wood operation.

    Game changer right there. Nice to see it's already helping out with the firewood duties.

    Nice machine... Will definitely be a backsaver and a helper. You'll probably find more things to do with it than you ever thought of...

    My house sits back a ways from the road. 1st thought was a tool to clear snow. That will save on the back.

    They are tough tractors. My dad had a 444 and then a 448 with belly mowers when I grew up.

    That's a nice tractor for sure, nice find! Keep an eye out for tire chains, they make a huge difference in snow.

    I like those old Case / Ingersoll tractors. I've had 3 of them. A 1972 Case 222, a 1984 Case 446 and an Ingersoll 3016.

    Be careful using chains on pavement as they can really leave their mark !!
