She's got "new" dry-rotted tires on the back, though the rims are pretty good. New, un-rotted tires on the front, though they don't match. Fairly good rims, though. The old gal is pretty straight, over all. Supposed story is a "one-owner" who died, sold with the farm, new owner attempted a restoration, got tired of looking at it, sold it to a buddy of mine, he listed it on Craigslist, I saw it, dragged it homke. A veritable "love at first sight" story. Motor was stuck when I went to look at it, but the oil looked good. Has some options on it I like. (foot throttle, headlights, belt pulley{even has the original cap to cover the nut when you pull the pulley off} Came with an extra cylinder for the 2 point lift, a battery box, and a new steering wheel. It's a nearly-unmolested all original example of a VAC [Reply]   [No Email]

Now, get it running, and bring it to the show in August.... Jim [Reply]  [No Email]

I was wondering why you had'nt. It's not in bad shape, but I wish I'd got to it before the tires started cracking! I believe she'll be running soon. I'm gonna see Larry again today and pick up some more pieces to it. (small pieces) [Reply]  [No Email]

I'll let it set for a while, anyhow, and then try the starter out on it. I don't think it's ever been apart, so I don't expect it to run like a new one. I do believe it will run, though.

I got 2 extra plow points and two extra mower blades with it. Are the headlights mounted in the proper location? I think the cultivators are complete, but they sat in the dirt for 20/30 years, so they're pretty rusted up. Hopefully nothing a good soak in oile won't cure. [Reply]  [No Email]

I have a mower like that one, but only some cultivator parts. The plow that dad got with the VAC is a pull type 2-bottom Centennial. [Reply]  [No Email]

I had a neighbor in Fayette County, WV that had a set of those plows on his VAC. I never saw them in operation,though. I have a set of 2-way plows on a Farmall Super C. I spent a lot of hours operating one of those mowers. It will mow in 3rd. gear, if the knife is nice and sharp. Is it a 6ft. or 7ft. cutter bar? [Reply]  [No Email]

All I need now is a gouple more VAC's to mount the cultivators and mower on. It looks like a pain in the rear-midsection to change the implements out. [Reply]  [No Email]

He added a homemade drawbar extension so he could still pull a hay rake, trailer, etc. without having to remove the mower. [Reply]  [No Email]
