Congratulations!

You no longer have any excuses for not getting the jobs done.

Thanks John, she is the love of my life for the last 30 years. I'm not about to let her go.

Congrats. That first pic is really interesting, it's amazing how they're shipped. It actually doesn't look like a big tractor at all until you put the wheels on it.

Good catch. I was there when they put it together and that was the last thing we were going to do. unfortunately the ordered the wrong one (a bit smaller dia), I told them I put them in once they got it. They dropped it off the next day and I was told they picked it off a different new rig on the lot. There is adjustment there I will try next time I;m there. Not worried about it.

Thanks for all the good wishes guy. I appreciate it. seeing it go together was also an awesome experience.

JC,

ps. I know this is comparing apples and oranges literally but small has certainly advantageouses. I'm not about to let go of my Ford as in tight spot me needs it.

it is no different that how a crab molts. I have the whole process (play by play) recorded by pictures. They stack 4 tractors like that on top of one another. The crate later will be used as scrap metal.

JC,

Yep, looks like the tab is reversed, I really do like the new style over the old, my old one was easily bent, whereas the new one is out of the way, little different than the MX mounting, but the same principal.

Great looking tractor! I am sure it will give you many years of great service. I hope you put a smile on your wife's face for being a great gal.
