A orange tractor pickup.

I picked this up the other day at an auction, Simplicity 7116 with a sickle bar mower and a 48 inch mower deck.
It has a 3 point hitch, so maybe next plow day I will bring it along.

Put in carb kit and some new deck bearings, hydro has a little creep, but otherwise runs great.

I may keep it but the sickle bar mower is for sale.

Nice Sovereign! Make sure the bevel gear box has enough oil in it. :beerchug:

Orange you glad I already checked it.!
I just finished cutting the grass and now doing fluid changes as we type.

Awesome! I have had to rebuild countless bevel gear boxes. Oil levels would get low, the front needle bearing would disintegrate causing extensive AND expensive damage to gears and bearings.:beerchug:

Have you checked the axle tube for cracks? It usually happens near the differential hub.

Great yob Lew looks like you grabbed a Halloween tractor! Hope the spooky bevel gear box doesn’t have any gremlins in it. :biggrin2:

If I didn't have so many Cubs...I would have a few Sovereigns...They are great tractors! I would love to have another 75th Anniversary Sovereign.

Yes they are good looking too!
I always liked the pin striping on the one I had.

Thanks Alvy,
All is well, need a new hydro pump drive belt though, but I may have one.

Gilly,
My light saber is bigger.

It's not the size of your saber, it's how you wave it!
