No more work for this one, its kept clean dry polished and covered up...

Just to be clear, this is not a restoration. This was just a fix anything that needs fixing, and slap a coat of paint on it, refurbish. My dad has a large piece of property, and we picked this up at an auction for $200. Its an old 93 Toro Groundsmaster with a 25hp Mitsubishi K3D 3 cylinder diesel, and a 72" mowing deck. This thing is a MONSTER. It will mow a lot of grass in a hurry!! My first time using it was not pretty, as its huge mower deck takes some getting use to. I mowed lots of plants, and small trees that I shouldn't have. My mom said "keep that monstrosity away from my flower bed"!!! Anyway, here are a few pics. You can see from some of my patches on the deck, that the previous owners had a hard time avoiding, smashing into things with this huge deck as well. This deck was very rough! Matt

Just thought I'd attempt to post a picture of half my Suburban riding tractors, by DB from 59-65. I have a fairly large collection of these, and they are my main power in the garden and around the yard. I have 11 of the 22 different models built during the early period, and most of the attachments.

Every one in UK will know the legondary Fred Dibnah back street mechanic .Sadly Fred is now in that great workshop in the sky . http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EXkOXO063PA&feature=player_detailpage#t=5

Great refurb, well done !

Here's my 2 ...some before and afters (click images to enlarge) - 72 Raider ..abandoned for 18 years by original owner- As now...2011 Redsquare Calender Shot 74 C-120 Virtual scrap (note how the Footrests were forced to be fitted the wrong way on the crossbar support) - Now with Tri Ribs on the front

Dark Side of The Moon I'm afraid anything 80's onwards doesn't even get a shot here!!

In between the torrential rain, cleaning the drain in the front of the shop, and mopping up where it leaked in... ...and checking the forum all day, I managed to pull a few pics, words and music together and do a short trailer for my YouTube channel. It's Also on the Facebook page too.

top job!!! love it

Doesn't matter if you have used it....I'm sure it still look's good and works hard and strong. Given it a new lease of use for a looooong time. If you mow on Sundays, then it's in it's Sunday Best......as well as every other day . ...........................5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 5.9 .... if it was in the Tractor Olympics

Gorgeous resto Matt... looks better than new.
