We rolled this out and the mail lady said it is the perfect height for her little Honda suv, so it is officially in use!

I like it, but my mailbox is across the road, and I am not going to put some thing like that on the neighbors property.

I tried having a decorator mail box but it got vandalized all the time. i switched back to the 5 dollar ones and the vandals must think they are not worth the time to mess with. Course my decorator ones were in JD Drag.

What year is that versy? Would be fun on a tractor drive. We just had a tractor drive on Saturday and a guy drove his Deere 8020 with no cab.
Wait, just spotted a silver bullet behind the versy.

Hello Lonn - it is a 1967, it has the small Clark axles. It also has PTO which is nice. We have a tractor drive around here in August, that is what inspired to paint it.
Go Gleaner!

Nice old tractor and she is looking nice with the new paint. I have a friend with a 700 still running the old 555, I over hauled it ten years ago it's got way over 7,000 hrs and still going strong. Your 118 have the 555 or 504 under the hood?

It still has the original 352 Cummins V6. Good luck getting internal parts for that thing! We had to make a new lower radiator hose, but Napa was able to get everything else.
I've got a nice 700 that we still use, they won't let me drive it in the antique tractor ride as it's not older than a 1970.
We also have a pair of 800s, and a 876 that we farm with.
I bought a 555 last year with a bad engine. It had 8 like new tires that we put over on one of the 800's. So if you ever need parts for your 555, come help yourself.

Looks nice.
The Versatile shouldn't be shy, it isn't green! I like the looks of it, looks fun to drive, and it looks like the operator might be out of his own dust cloud because the seat is so far forwards!

352? man that's going back there.lol Thanks for the help for 555 parts but I run when I here 555 parts are hard to find and prices for parts are high.  I get out of working on them by saying it will not fit in the shop.

Well...if a stanger in a "Mysterious vehicle" drives by with a stick out the window and knocks the mailbox off the tractor, it's not a mailbox anymore! Just a garden tractor!
We might just happen to stumble upon it after the "accident" Lol
Yeah, I'll help you load it Shameless!

Yep but I think this particular one has a bigger Detroit installed than original, but it slobbers oil just as good as the original.

My mailbox as I put it up a few years ago. The road snow plow has been hard on it and broken the pipe threads loose from the top of the barrel so I've rebuilt it with more flexibility and ability to swing holding the back of the plank down with a chain and holding the main pipe up with unistrut brackets.

Olive, that tractor looks familiar. I saw that 608 at the Roger Krieg auction about a year ago, then it showed up on Wheeler's next consignment and sold for less than half as much.

It must be a different one, I bought it for $50.00 at a consignment auction in North eastern Illinois. Or it is quite the traveler!
Did the one at wheelers have a deck?

Gerald I love the Cen-Pe-Co drum. Dont see em like that around here
Most people in N Michigan build there mail box posts with a spring so if plowed snow hits it it will swing away
Post has to give too. If someone runs off the road and the post doesnt give way and they hit it you are liable....

There is a Minnesota standard mail box post that has two bends and a swivel between them. So the mail box can move when plowed and gravity puts it back. http://www.dot.state.mn.us/stateaid/trafficsafety/mailbox/download.pdfI added a sack or two of sand to my barrel to hold it in place and in the winter it gets frozen. So far the barrel hasn't moved, the mail box has. Gerald J.

I think it must be a traveler. Here are pics I took at the sale. Same dealer decal.  Same aftermarket seat, headlights, and taillights.
