Thanks Merk. Now that's train (13 cars) and being able to pull it is a tribute to the engine (long stroke) / gear ratio (torque). I'm impressed...... Before I took the 70 apart I'd would airiate our yard using 5 cinder-blocks to supply weight. Ok, our area has a lot a clay along with soil.... but the tractor pulled that ground attachment up hill in first gear at a little over idle. Again I was impressed.
Ok since my help questions on restoration are complete, I started a seperate post titled "Model 70 Restoration project".
