For Sale Set of Blackhawk Arps Half Tracks in exceptionally good condition for age. My dad purchased these Half-Tracks new in 1953. They were last used on a 1953 Ford Golden Jubilee around 1965 and have been stored inside ever since. Original tires appear to be in great shape and hold air...

I bet it would be allot of fun plowing with a setup like that.

Thank you for the heads up.:)

Sorry to bring this up again. A few days ago I started a post then edited it away only because I couldn't find how to delete it. I hope I didn't disrupt or break any posting rules. I hope it is okay to post my question again. I'm trying to get an idea what price to ask for a set of Blackhawk...

I store my Curtis cab doors by hanging them from their hinges, inside a shipping container. The doors are not very heavy so each ceiling attachment are just 3 screw in eyelets with a 1/4" dia. bolt and nuts. The door hinge easily slides over the end if the bolt. The doors are out of the way with...

Unchained R4s aren't that good for winter traction, I believe unchained turf tires do much better. Here's a previous discussion about R4's vs turfs in snow. https://www.tractorbynet.com/forums/threads/what-tires-work-best-in-the-snow-for-my-kubota-bx-turf-or-r4s.294234/page-2

I kind of thought the same thing when I first decided to leave the chains on and would have taken them off if they started to be a problem. Because they are 2 link ladder chains, I believe is why they are not tough on my lawn or gravel driveway and I don't see any damage on the garage concrete...

After removing my Tacoma from winter storage (locked shipping container) the 3 pt snow blower gets stored there until late fall. Tractor with installed snow blower are parked in a locked garage when not in use. I've never stored my 3 pt snow blower outside.

I noticed folks mentioning they take their chains off at the end of winter. Does anyone just leave them on all year long ? I've never taken mine chains (2-Link Ladder) off the rear tires of my B7800 since 2005. I only drive on pavement during the winter. During non winter months I'll grade the...

Another vote for the 2 D battery pump. On my B7800 a 5 gal can just fits between loader arm and engine compartment. and the 2d battery pump is perfect choice for me.

I only use rear tire chains (2 link ladder on R4s) on my B7800. I'm sure front tire chains would really help increase my traction and steering control but I don't dare take the chance of causing mechanic damage to the front drive gearing. My Kubota dealer recommended not to use front tire chains...
