-- for a stroll in the park! |
10. This is
obviously Paul Kjorlie's Pow'rMax with loader and the
backhoe he built. As for the
tractor, it is a 1974 Simplicity 4041 that Paul purchased for $400 in 1999
as a parts tractor for his Simplicity 9020's. It had a minor but expensive
(to fix) engine flywheel problem. Last winter he traded the mower
deck for the tractor for a second parts engine and thus got the tractor
running. He repainted the tractor, repainted the loader and transferred it
from one of the 9020's and designed and built a backhoe for the tractor.
Specs on the backhoe are as follows:
@1700 PSI
Digging Depth: 5'-10"
Force at bucket: 2100#
Force from Dipper: 1200#
Swing Arc: 115 Deg.
Weight: 600# |

What a sharp puller! According to Dennis McGill, this one belongs to
Clint McDonald and is actually a converted Montgomery Wards Squire -- he
didn't like the color. He brought this beauty all the way up
from Vandalia, MO. |

Close-up of Jeff Harm's
beautiful 1959 Wonderboy 700.
Jeff identified the tractor, and sent in more info, plus this "Before
Picture" Jeff says: "I
got started in this hobby by looking for a grill for my Dad's 700 and they
started following me home as in everyone else's case I am working on a 725
next and the attachments I have collected." |
