Any speculation on what I'm cooking up here ?

Mower deck on front, sprayer? Peeked my interest.

Not a mower or a sprayer .

Well you don't need a snow blower down South !!!!  Something that needs a belt to drive it obviously . How about another hint ?

It will shock you !

Front mount generator? 

Ding !

It is not a JD/Pincor though, but a 2000   Watt Generac built and branded for Sears Suburban/Bolens. It is the same unit that Massey offered for MF 10 and 12's. I will post pics of it when its repainted. I'm also considering devising brackets to mount 2 1000 watt electric heaters in front of it to melt the 1/4 inch snow dustings we get once in a Blue Moon.    J.

should have known you"d guess it Troy.

Or two hair driers could be mounted on the front !!!!!!!

Hows the generator coming along ?

Kyle, I hope to be able to finally paint the Gennie this weekend outside. Temp is forecasted to be in mid 60s. Then will do a mock up for final dimensions of the mounting plate.  J.

I was wondering how the project was coming along.

I haven't seen any new postings and was wondering how you were making out with the project. 

Yeah John, I want to see your results as well. 

well with that new project started does that mean you've finished the generator installation ?

Well the 112 Yard Dawg stopped the gen project.  I had cleaned out the shop for a oyster roast and put Creampuff 110 in the other section will its brethren. Now the Ford 851 has the work area.  Be patient kids, the generator will come to be.   J.

Is the 851 a new acquisition or fixing up an old friend getting her ready for summer work?

I got it in the deal with the patio. I had thought my middle son would have been interested in it and he did get it to run a little but pushed it out in the weather and basically abandoned it. So I brought it in my shop to revive it. I had thought about speculating or trading it, but I'm getting attached to it. I have always had feelings for these Fords since a kid. My Dad farmed with  861 and 841 Diesels, and I thought they were the prettiest things on earth. I have its mate, an 851 Diesel.  J.

Good luck with it looks like a fun project
