Ok. Dumb question time (I guess). My 782 has the sleeve type hitch according to the diagram posted a couple of weeks ago. What kinds of implements can be attached to the sleeve type? The 3 pt. makes more sense to me if I want to get a plow or something. Am I totally confused here? By the way, Digger, is the plow in your pics new, or did you just do a great job of restoring it because it looks great!

Jason, there are cultivators, plows, grader blades, planters, rototillers and all sorts of stuff that mount to the sleeve hitch setup.

Ok then, here's another one.

Ryan,
You really want me to get in trouble postin green don't ya!

Art- You are right...I remember the straight beam..and that pic that Charlie posted is like the plow that Robb just got isn't it?

Here is the plow I was referring to.

And a ultra rare "pin on" Brinly plow frame/tow hook.

Gosh Charlie, those are some nice wheel weights!

Off to do some plowing in a residential yard! (no Art, not yours...this time... mo-ha-ha)

Thanks guys for the pictures . I think I still have to get a part to make it work I'll have to get me one of those brinly adapter things to get it to work or make me one.

Hi, I aquired a 6 1/2 inch plow at srping break and am wondering how rare a find this is?
The nice folks at Brinly told me they havent made the 6 1/2 inch since 1960.

Mike M.: Here are a couple pf pctures taken at PD III PA of the M&W.

hi I have a 782 which has a wandering neutral position on the speed control. If I go forward and step on the brake I hit neutral. If I go in reverse and step on the brake I tend to stay in reverse.neutral also changed its location all together after a few hours with the moldboard plow.It seems like the FAQ dampener spring linkage thing, but I wondered what you guys thought? Thanks, and I have to say you guys are doing an awesome job to help keep all these cubs going. It has been a blast so far.
By the way a sleeve hitch, brinly plow, a box scraper, and a dump cart has turned me into an 8 year old with a 1.5 acre sand box.
thanks again, John

Ryan,

The red plow is not the same as the straight framed Brinly. The red plow is actually a Snapper gardening system manufactured by Brinly for Snapper.

I hauled a 10" sleeve version of the red plow to "Mr. Brinly" at WFM.

I'm up, just busy working.

Oh come on Bryan, coffee,s been on for a long time now.
Hey, it could be worse. The "REV" is pouring cement this morning. And then I get a bad time for not bringing more tools and sweat to the job.

Kool picture time...

 

[rmull]

Wow, I like the stake pockets on that bottom picture...they look cartoony...the whole tractor "sitting" on the deck for that matter!

At least he is on a gear drive though.

Since I have access to the Chicago Building Department's scanned documents, I thought I'd do some snooping on 600 S. Michigan Ave, one of <FONT COLOR="ff0000">I</FONT><FONT COLOR="000000">H</FONT>'s old office buildings. Not a lot there, other than the fact that a LOT of companies owned that place. Seems Fairbanks Morse owned it after <FONT COLOR="ff0000">I</FONT><FONT COLOR="000000">H</FONT>.
