Thanks Jim,Thats a quaint looking old machine right there, not a bad score, hopefully you can get the engine issue resolved, that would make a great restore project for future tractor shows and events too :fing32:.
I will clean it up some more this weekend and snap some additional shots with a camera. May not be able to post them till Monday.Sharp looker........and free ta boot. Very nice score. How about some more pics?
I picked up the springfield and the simp 728 the same day. I have 9 garden\lawn tractors and 2 8N farm tractors. The Springfield I saw on CL listed for 150.00 When I got to pick it up, the PO realized the engine did not spin up and just gave it to me for freeWOW, you must be really cleaning up your area, how many tractors you got in your collection now? I must say you are finding some very interesting machines
We use Kijiji up here, I even asked myself "why" as I was going to pick up my latest, a Lincoln tractor, but I still bought it:sidelaughI picked up the springfield and the simp 728 the same day.

It is my goal to get that puppy up and running. I am hoping the motor is just stuck from sitting. I will probably put a can of MMO in it and go home for the week, see if it spins the following weekend.
My collection does not look as nice as yours buddy. I also promised myself to stay off CL for a while.raying:
I will let you know how long I am able to stay off of CL. I am going to start a rehab soon for those that do not have the will power to stopWe use Kijiji up here, I even asked myself "why" as I was going to pick up my latest, a Lincoln tractor, but I still bought it:sidelaugh

Hi Matt,I just stumbled upon this thread searching for info on Springfield tractors. I'm hoping to get my hands on this one this weekend. What can you tell me about them? I know nothing.
Thanks in advance,
Matt
