1981 Craftsman LTV10 Tow Tractor Project Update
This is an update on the 81 LTV10, soon to be an LTV12 with a 12 hp briggs and stratton instead of its POS unfixable 10hp briggs. This tractor will be a tow and recovery rig for towing tractors around the yard, and when I go pick up tractors that are buried up in weeds and small trees. This tractor was actually found that way, it had a tree growing through the deck, all the tires were flat, had weeds all around it and in it, and had to be towed out with my buddys ford truck(we didn't take my truck that day). This tractor will also be getting an upgrade to a 5 speed transaxle over the orginal 2 speed unit.
The overall look of the tractor will be a rat rod, with a nicely painted red engine with chrome parts. Its gonna be SWEET!!!!!!!!!!!!

Remote Sleeve Hitch Assembly
This unit attaches to your ATV, UTV or Garden Tractor with a 2" receiver. This unit is also available for a 1 1/4" receiver. Attach your back blade, plow or cultivator disc to this attachment. I have used a unit like this to plow my vegetable garden and food plot for 3 years. I decided to make this item and sell it. This item works great and is built very well. When you purchase this item you get everything to start using it except the attachments. You can purchase the attachment anywhere they sell garden tractors and sleeve hitches. ( Tractor Supply Co, EBAY, ETC, ).
This unit includes a handle bar remote switch and 2000 lb water proof Winch, rear suspension lock out and the sleeve hitch. Depending on availability, the winch and remote may not be the exact same as in the picture or video. It also has all attachments for quick assembly.
Any questions or you would like to purchase this item email me at jnsocia@aol.com
535B Caterpillar Skidder
I haven't worked around many cat skidders, this one seems alright, but the guys say a John Deere is better. The deck sites are not always the best but we do the best we can, I need lots of room to set the drilling rig
1978 Sears GT 14 Tractor electric winch refinement
Afte using my newly designed electric plow I realized some changes needed to be made. The cable was binding up on one side of the winch locking the motor and the eye bolt setup was already showing signs of weakening. Another stop at the hardware store for $8 worth of parts and about 15 minutes of work cured it all.
