66dc75 Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 A few years back I bought a pretty nice Case Ingersoll 444 and put a Kwikway loader on it. Light front axle, 2wd, and hand control for travel made it too hard to use. So I came across a 4wd Bolens Iseki deisel with a very fresh engine rebuild. Transfered the loader to the bed machine finished it up today. 2 new cylinders for the bucket which necessitated new mounting ears and hoses. Did a new spool valve too. Now back to working on my R Model want to have it painted before Macungie. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73969-one-more-project-done/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrsmackpaul Posted March 16 Share Posted March 16 Looking like it's all systems go, I have a little Massey Ferguson which is really a Iseki rebranded It has the 4 in 1 bucket and linkage and is 4x4 I dunno that as a farm tractor it would be much use But as anything else, it's very handy and manoeuvres into tiny little tight spots Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73969-one-more-project-done/#findComment-548228 Share on other sites More sharing options...
66dc75 Posted March 16 Author Share Posted March 16 It makes a nice motorized wheel barrel for around the yard. Didn't know anything about Iseki until I found this.

mrsmackpaul Posted March 18 Share Posted March 18 Iseki are built by Isuzu and bigger tractors had truck type motors Dunno if Isuzu is big innthe states but in Australia they are huge Their medium sized trucks are most popular trucks in Australia and outsell everything else by a long way Paul Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73969-one-more-project-done/#findComment-548296 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mowerman Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Man, I almost missed this one. That’s a nice little deal for shit. That’s a little too much for a hand shoveling thanks for that.

BOBWhite Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Looking good! Makes me want to get my Case 222 going. The Kohler engine seems very worn out so I want to find a little diesel for it.

mowerman Posted March 25 Share Posted March 25 Wow with more photos it looks a little bigger than it first did… hell I think it will definitely do some damage. Excellent thanks for sharing. Yes, I was just thinking of working on my Montgomery ward lawn tractor but I’m sure it’s not gonna happen. I’ll go to the back of my workshop for now, but I have all the parts to fix it.

Now I need to rehome the Case. Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73969-one-more-project-done/#findComment-548859 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mowerman Posted March 27 Share Posted March 27 And yes, the weather has not been very cooperative around here and my wife gets pissed when I move it if the ground is too soft because it leaves deep tire tracks in the dirt … bob Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/73969-one-more-project-done/#findComment-548976 Share on other sites More sharing options...
