New 1200

111 · Nov 8, 2015

Here is my new 1200, the man I'm getting it from has owned it for 35 years and it has always been inside. He said in 35 years it has not even burned a tank of fuel. Has a new seat and everything works. He said his Dad painted it this color about 30 years ago I think. Here is a pic of it coming out out of the barn in Nova Scotia. It's getting loaded today and will be headed for Windsor Ontario tommorow. I'm getting excited.

What are your plans for the 1200? The previous owner must not have used it very hard. If he had burned a tank of fuel in the past 35 years that would have been 1.14 gallons per year.

Lucky you, I have always wanted one. I like them open station best too. Great find.

I'm going to start restoring it slowly, first thing I think I'm going to do is get a brake system from a 1470, that's what my Dad and I did with his 1200. The brakes need work on this one so I think that is the best route. Here is a picture of my Dads, we took the cab off of his. Here is the motor from a newer 1370 that we are going to put in my Dads 1200, the 1200 engine needed lots of work.
