well I guess I got too busy using it! The carryall has been worked hard, and I've also used a rear cultivator/hiller on it.
Plus it has pulled my utility wagon everywhere around here hauling brush.
I never did paint the grill silver, still a to do and the hood paint job still looks like wrinkle paint, but otherwise it's running fine.
Turf tires run in 4wd have plenty of grip in soft soil.
sorry, have no idea why two pics are now sidewise, they were fine before

Hard at work (not really) with new Bush Hog. Needed a winter excuse to go get some sun on my face.
Engaged the BH15 at about 1400 rpm and it picked up smoothly. Tractor is at very lower limit of power for mower, but
I'm not doing anything heavy with it. Mower looks huge due to chains, quite a contraption they mount them on.
I needed to add a small amount of engine oil, will be keeping an eye on that.

Last week my neighbor, a local fireman/EMT and a friend, borrowed the little Massey to bush hog across the street from our properties.
It was fun to see one's own tractor working, like an out of body event or something...
Yesterday the tractor hauled garden hose out to my new garden and no longer needed wire tree cages back to the barn.
Definitely need to put a hook eye on the carryall so I can bungie the load.
Yes, the top one fell off...
so far so good. Still have to repaint the hood. That wrinkly paint looks like a sharpei dog, guess I'll have to grind it off before repainting.
Or just leave it. It's a tractor...and the paint is serving its function
The hydrostatic trans makes this so much easier to use than my geared tractors, and 3 ranges are plenty
Does whine a bit, but so does my Kubota.
