its a shame that we see this on many a tractor. Someone buys it with all good intensions of rebuilding it to a grand glorious conclusion, then do to some unfortunate thing, they either become over whelmed or financially ruined. Its a sad thing for both the tractor and the owner, as most don't recover from it. The tractor ends getting shuffled from box to box and place to shelf with half it parts lost or damaged. The owner may now think of himself as a failure and with the cost of this in the back of his mind, not try to repeat it. I hate to see an event like this happen.

so you got one in Kit form, you are up to the challenge, lol

looks like mostly low dollar riding mowers. I did see a few real garden tractor, and that rollers was cool. Shame he didn't show the walk-behinds better. I'd have to agree that this isn't a vid, for the general public.

well that makes all the sence, safety first, exspecially if its your butt that's going to get hurt.

real nice, smooth running easy starting engine. Amusing to see you riding it side saddle.

I think he forgot to add, Right to the bottom.

ok I agree if looks,not function is the goal

I used to do that, but I'm getting a little more conservative in my old age and don't want to do a ground up on every tractor I get. Anymore if it don't turn free and maybe have some attachments, i'll let some one else worry over it.

yes I agree its a sad looking affair, shame you couldn't see that before you got it home.

the only trouble with wide tires is if your going to plow, they ride up on the turned earth in the furrow. I find its almost better to add weights and go with a narrower tire. Sometimes I run duals.

hope you still have a home, after the wife finds out about this.

yes its fiberglass. I'll have to ask him what model it is some time. It runs great, starts with a rope, that you wind.

friend of mine over here has one, but I think its smaller than that one. He has all the reels also.

And he left without a trace! Just like aliens came and beamed him away. Pretty cool of you to think about a nappy spot in the new shop.

someone should hire him immediately , he's management material.

that's a very nice engineered machine. Lots of them over here doing that, but they always look like an accident waiting to happen. Your machine looks like it all came out the factory door this way.

nice solid project. really like the way those shift handles are put together.

well I don't believe i'll be able to come, but i'll still be around to taunt and make fun of you. Good luck in this moving thing, don't throw your back out or break off something you might need later.

like that fuel tank, reminds me of an old style lunch bucket.

this is terrible, your selling the shed that the videos of dreams comes from......... Does this mean your getting out of the fun toy playing hobby? I thought you was just getting a new home, I completely confuse now.

I can help you both out with this, send them to me and i'll redo them to the currently appealing colors, take them to several shows to get the public's view point and have them back to you in say 10 to12 years. Deal?.lol.

what a really nice display of items, often over looked in everyone quest for tractors and tillers. More hand and human power tools need to come to the shows, so people can see where the roots are in this hobby.

pretty nice outfit you have there.

all that for the price of a meal. Nice little pile of items. looking forwards to the redo and photos.

so are you making an electric tractor out of it?
