 Topic: 175’s almost done
Posted: 30 Dec 2023 at 7:42pm |
I kicked her out of the shop. I’m waiting on a new Agco muffler and new orange canopy canvases. She’s the youngest of the fleet…she and the 7020 will hit the big 45 in a couple days. I consider myself really lucky to have found her 6 years ago with only 1969 hours. It’s been a pleasure raking tedding and occasionally hauling a few loads with her. She now has 2300 plus and I try hard to make them all look like they did in their glory days.   The next victim is the 55 WD45 WFE fps. May you all have a safe holiday weekend. Dana

Nice looking tractor. I really wish mine were cleaned up & repainted. But I'm not good at removing dings & dents from previous owners. So I haven't tried repainting anything in years except with a 4" paint brush. I also wish everyone a happy holiday season.

Do the 175 and your two 185’s tractors do any other work besides hay ?

Why are you getting a new muffler? The one on there looks pretty good, might be cheaper to have it ceramic coated.

This muffler was an aftermarket and it will not slide down onto the exhaust pipe correctly. I would have to slit it open and add a piece and weld it shut and I’m not going to do that. I have a brand new one from Agco coming.
