I often end up at forums to see what other people do to resolve an issue, or just to enjoy seeing what others are working on. This is probably like you if you are reading this.
So I thought I should return the favour by posting my build up/recovery/save of this old tractor. Not saying I did everything the way it should be done, just showing how I did it. I probably got some ideas from forums like this so the circle continues....
This is one big "catch up" post as I have been working on it for a few months, meaning to get around to doing this thread. Then hopefully, we can settle in to asking the questions when it comes to tractor stuff that I know I will need to ask.
Sooo, I want to do some landscaping (landscraping more like it...remove weeds and get a lawn). I decided that with the vast array of implements available for a tractor, I should get one..:licking:..any excuse....I have never owned one so if you hear a stupid comment or question....yea, I plead ignorance.
Through a wanted ad on the local Kijiji, I found one the guy wanted the price of scrap for. It seemed sad to send this baby to the crusher (a diesel to a crusher....? ) when it could be had for the price of scrap metal weight and a small towing fee. They say "Beauty is in the eye of the beholder" and I see a gleaming new functioning machine. (My wife does not see things the same way... )
If you visit other forums, you might have seen it. I decided to post most here as it seems the most active forum I have seen. If you guys cannot answer my questions, then I am asking it wrong. :laughing:
The clincher was that it had a loader frame with it
