Popular Post mike69mackman Posted April 19 Popular Post Share Posted April 19 Hi guys/gals, long time no posts. Just wanted to post about the speedex 1240 i did a mechanical resto on awhile back. It is finished and runs great! Thanks for your input on the front wheels i posted about. I currently am working on a 2nd 1240 which is in rougher condition but will be resurrected. It is currently in pieces but should be running by summer. 4 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74078-speedexc/ Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd buff that red paint out with some rubbing compound or brush it with Lynn seed oil Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74078-speedexc/#findComment-550320 Share on other sites More sharing options...
mike69mackman Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 I thought about doing that but the paint is pretty thin but i might spray some clear on it to preserve it. The paint on the new project is too far gone to do anything with. I think that tractor spent most of it’s life outside. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74078-speedexc/#findComment-550344 Share on other sites More sharing options...
70mackMB Posted April 23 Share Posted April 23 Several years ago we were pulling garden tractors with our club every other weekend. Either at a local fair or someone's house. There was a father and son who pulled an unknown model Speedex for awhile. It did alright in the stock class but if l remember it was a little under powered. .....Hippy Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74078-speedexc/#findComment-550345 Share on other sites More sharing options...

mike69mackman Posted April 23 Author Share Posted April 23 Yeah, mine wont be doing pulls. Both are equipped with k301 10 horse motors. The first one runs great but all it’s gonna see is shows and maybe mow the tops off the high spots in my horse pasture. The one i’m currently working on will plow a little snow and my gatden. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/74078-speedexc/#findComment-550356 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Freightrain Posted April 24 Share Posted April 24 I enjoy tinkering with my Cub cadets. Early 70s models. I want to build a loader for the 127 someday. 1 Quote Larry 1959 B61 Liv'n Large......................
