About 55/60 yrs ago, we had one of these. Had about acre or more garden. Pulling a cole planter with a chain was a two person job with daddy yelling you ain't doing it right. The cultivator had 4 plows and did great along with the disc and turning plow. I wish I had a video of my brother and me with a two wheel trailer hooked to it hauling firewood, would not hold back on a hill so I bolted a 2by4 with a piece of barrel stave to rub the tire as a brake, it worked, we survived . Dad was in the bed at the time with his back so I took the Lombard chain saw and cut our fire wood at about 12 yrs old. Even pulled the school bus off one time with it. We thought it was rough but we was happy and didn't lack for nothing. I tell people this sometimes and they just kind of grin a little. World would be a lot better now if everyone had to scratch for themselves instead of handing it to them on a platter. GOD IS STILL GREAT AND STILL IN CONTROL. Thanks for the video.
Thank you for the story. Loved it. I just wish my Dad would have stuck around, but I wouldn' have the awesome family I have today if he had, Thanks again.
You have an incredible collection sir! I have an old 5751 with a replacement engine(was done before I bought it) and a few attachments. Snow plow, sickle bar, cultivator, and a mold board that I don’t believe is an actual DB. I would love a cart like yours for taking my daughter on rides around the field or through town in a parade or two. Thanks for sharing your knowledge and these little beauties. -Castor
Running the engine doesn't stop the gas in the tank from separating/going bad. So it doesn't stop the gas that goes into the carb from being separated. Gas can start separating in as short a time as one month, according to some scourses of info. The only solution to keep gas from separating is to add gasoline preservative, which itself has a limited shelf life and limited service life. I think Startron might be better than the others, because it works by an enzyme.
I think it's sort of a neat idea, but after I bought a SuperPower on a whim, I have to say it's pretty close to useless. About the only thing it's really good for is cultivating corn in small garden plots. I suppose in the olden days when tractors were still fairly uncommon and expensive these things fit the bill for the little people. The cart attachment looks neat on face value but I see it as a dangerous rig. The Superpowers are easy to tip over on any hillside and guess what happens when you decide to drive down a hill? I suppose the cart has a form of crude friction brake that may work to some degree....

Flashback nineteen fifty three. Thanks for the memoriesJog!🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟
Hi. Thanks for making such an informative video. Those trailer hitches are almost impossible to find.

Great video. Thanks.
The hitch is interesting. It looks so frail…like the casting under the transmission could be broken off easily. Maybe I’m looking at it wrong though.
I really enjoy your videos. Keep up the good work.
Awesome!
A thing of beauty.
Good video thanks
