Old Tankman 59 #1 Posted March 7, 2017 (edited) A friends Mom flipped his Work Horse on it's side 10 years ago. Horse went to the dealer, repaired and a new 48" SD deck. Parked in his barn after repairs. Never used again. Cleaning out his barn I offered, "I'll haul the tractor away 'No Charge." Leon Redbone agreed. After cleanup, a bit of paint, added the Dial-A-Height, machine is excellent. Didn't care for all gray, belt guards are now Rustoeum Regal Red. Coarse skateboard grip tape on the foot rests, new seat. Edited March 7, 2017 by Old Tankman 11 Ian, Stormin, DougC and 8 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DougC 63 #3 Posted March 7, 2017 Might as well just give it to the handsome young man sitting in the new drivers seat now Art. He looks like the newest owner to me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Grandsons are claiming all the rides but, they have to earn 'em. The roller worked but, drives needed a little more packing. 3 nigel, Stormin and ranger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably fie years ago, owner doesn't have a use for it. His drives are now paved, lucky for my grandson! He wouldn't like my hand tamper! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Stormin 4,458 #9 Posted April 16, 2017 Roller would have to be pretty strong and axle bearings substantial ones. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Roller made from oxygen bottle, bearings made from an oak post, frame from 6" x 3" channel! 3 Old Tankman, the showman and Stormin reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stormin 4,458 #11 Posted April 16, 2017 I think that should be strong enough. 1 ranger reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
