The farm has an old Lincoln welder with a seized continental gasoline engine and I have that Kubota V2203 diesel left over from the disastrous Sato tractor project which will never be completed because it needs the Kubota V2203 indirect diesel.
I've had the Simplicity 9020 out blowing snow twice this year and I'm very pleased with its performance, also purchased an identical tractor branded Allis Chalmers 720 with a front end loader with a blown hydro-static drive. And that is another story that gets a thread of its own.
Rob is donating the welder and I'm doing the engine swap, I'll have the use of the welder not that I have a whole lot of projects that my buzz box won't handle. It's a cool way to give my gratitude for the trust they have in me using their fully equipped heated shop any time day or night.
My future planned projects.
Build a band-saw mill using one of the Toro diesel engines.
Build another trailer, to haul my tractor to antique farm shows.
Install one of the Toro smaller diesel onto the compressor Rob gave me to use for sandblasting.
