Looks good. Whats the KO number?

One of the ones you were selling for someone at last Valla?

And not before time eh Luke..............

Good things come to those who wait.

I had to re-read this- when I first skimmed through it I thought you had been working on it for 5 years and to be honest I was questioning that seemed like a long time to make a rat..

I had a look at the pics I took at Valla, and Bill's right, it is KO 607

yeah its the one we borrow for valla .its been to two valla . it wasnt blast was complete . now missing one seat and other bits . got half the orginal exhaust , tin wear off the old motor. it has a 1600 in it now . will put the old motor back in it once it gets a fresher up.

good to hear you achieved your goal..
how sweet it is
enjoy

I'll post up some Valla pics tonight

Steve,
Where have you been?. Thought you must have hibernated with the bears and the snow.

Managed pick up a fence post boring tool to fit onto the PTO- now all I need to do is to get the correct flexible shaft connection to make it work. Can't wait to get it operating and will post some photos when it is all together.

This KO 607 is a great vehicle, I saw it some 10 years ago when the rat look was only known as original and it looks better each time I see it.

Bill,
How are ya?
Actually no bears and little snow here this winter. We have had a unbelievably mild winter.....I think I ran the snowblower twice.
Spring has seen record warmth here with some days near 80 F in March. Totally unheard of. Its probably the driest and warmest spring I can remember in my lifetime (63 years). The farmers are going like gang busters here and running probably more than a month ahead of schedule. Yesterday afternoon the relative humidity was 19% here.......almost desert type humidity. We occasionally see it in the mid 20% range, but below 20% is extremely rare. All of this could be good or bad for our crop outlook. If we have another dry, essentially rainless summer like last year, my farm friends may be screwed.


Get the PTO hook up, and do something with it......like boring some auger holes or cutting wood. Take some pics of what you wind up with and its working application.

Regards,
Steve
