Josh sold the other groundsaw listed under his name in this section. He found another one for sale on a Landlord 101 which also had a loader. Josh first purchased just the loader, but then later purchased both the tractor and groundsaw. Here’s what Josh said after getting the groundsaw home.
“I found myself motivated to get little to no sleep last nite. I removed the groundsaw from the landlord 101, and moved it to it’s new carrier, my ’64 landlord. I tinkered with the donor tractor a bit and had it sold before I hit the sack! The saw is now looking very comfortable. Show ready, in my opinion. I will replace one gear, maybe a line or two, and install a repop decal. I haven no plans to strip her of her work clothes…I like the look. The tractor is completely original, except a dealer repower in ’73, and is one of my pride and joy’s. I have to get the drive pulley installed, as well as the belt from the hydraulic motor on the saw, to the transmission on the tractor. I made an error in cutting a belt off of the saw, as one of the main hoses passed through the center (the previous user was not driving the tractor from the saw…I plan to use both drive methods for show and for speed). Once I installed the saw, I realized the belt route was intentional, as the hose will not allow the belt to pass beside it, but instead, is perfectly situated to go right through the belt when in use. Now I need to pop the line off, try to avoid a big mess, and install another $25 belt. Oops. I’m almost there!”
Here’s before and after pictures that Josh sent me. I like that wide chain!!
