Advice on Tractors for a City Girl

Is your Japanese garden done?? Do you have pics? What size tires on the rear of the 135?

The rears on the 135 are B.F. Goodrich SilverTown 18.4-16 (16" dia rims), 6ply, about 40" tall overall.

No, the Japanese garden is on hold while I work on other projects and get my hayfield planted.

Here's a shot of the garden gate

the 1300 gal above ground koi tank

the shadow box fence

These photos were taken before that big almond tree in the middle of the garden blew down.

Nice. I look forward to seeing more of it. That is too bad about the almond tree, it gave the garden a nice natural look, and the shade was nice too.

Thanks I may need the walk behind grinder. Your garden is awesome Flusher. Sandman what is a middlebuster?

Freewheeling

You can compare it to coasting downhill in neutral. Your speed will continue to increase until you reach level ground, lose control or hit something.

Also no engine braking. Think of going down that same hill in 1st gear, the engine braking will slow it down.

A middle buster is also known as a potato plow.

FWIW Steering wheels of that vintage were hard rubber and finish coated with a somewhat exotic shellac which didn't have great durability. Therefore the condition in which you found your Massey 50.
