What have you done with/to your GC Series 2300, 2400, 1700 Tractor TODAY

cglaser104 · Sep 15, 2020

Today was a great day on the ol' GC. I used the forks and an old pallet to load my box blade and back blade onto his truck (leaving the forks there thanks to the SSQA) and drove down the road with bucket and landscape rake. Redid his driveway and spread out half the tri-axle of stone he had brought in.

I switched to forks and went and moved some old debris for him (big truck tires, old implements for his dad's '53 Ford Jubilee, etc) so he could get to an old, decommissioned brush hog buried in the weeds to repurpose the lift arms and some of the metal.

I then came home, put some paint on my own bush hog project which is hanging out drying.

And finally, I got out my angle grinder and notches out the top link arm for the Countyline PHD I bought. ***** works perfectly as planned and I'm ready to go with that implement.

Paint is on and curing. Used my hvlp paint sprayer on this project and the finish came out nice. Both colors are Massey Ferguson color hue's. The classic grey and modern red.

Assembled the deck tonight. Now it's a matter of priming/painting the gearbox and installing it which I'll do tomorrow. Hopefully I'm mowing by Sunday!

It isn't a one of a kind unit if I make 2 of them lol

That said, deck is completely done and bolt on ready for the gearbox which is currently waiting for primer to set up so that I can paint it. The weather temps dropped significantly here with the daily highs borderline for painting which is not helping me here.

As I was for that part to work out I dropped the deck itself next to it's cousins for the time being.
