thanks , I took it off craigslist a few days after I posted it. It was sitting out back and the temps went from rain to below zero and now it won't run right . I think there is water in the fuel filter and it turned to ice. I ordered a new fuel filter and when it warms up I will change it and bleed the fuel lines. I would have felt so bad selling it if it didn't run perfect. Todays pics show the third jd 110 round fender repaint project. I paid $350.00 for it because it had all the original parts and had no cracks in the hood. Also it was only a few miles from my house. This one will get the snowblower on it. These round fenders have so many memories for me from using them on the farm when I was young.

Five days after I placed the add for the jd 430 tractor I took it back off. Windchills below zero for the last two weeks I decided to wait for nicer weather ,:laughing:
Twenty two inches of new snow in the last 10 days and I have still not used the new jd 4x4 tractor. Each day I just plow my driveway with the walk behind plow . I'm in no hurry to get it dirty and salty.
Maybe next winter:laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing::laughing:

Today I will clean off the mini 4x4 articulating tractor and push some snow around. Then I will park it in the shop in out of the weather . I won't work in the shop until it warms up .

Todays pics show the day the Waldon 5000 was delivered , within 10 days I had sanded it down and repainted it , larger tires and removed the old bucket and mounted a front blade . Then I converted the new front blade into a light duty snow bucket.

Those tires look like they would be great for turf duty but kinda helpless in snow.

I thought the same thing about the tires but they actually do a excellent job . I think the overall width of the tires must be the key. I actually have chains for it but never needed them. The smooth tires work excellent .

My wife just downloaded 50 pics on you-tube of my tallest project . The Silver Spade model stood over 10 feet tall . Also several pics of the Silver Spade being cut up for scrap. Anyone interested can go to you-tube and type in ( doncampbellmodels 187 ) . Or for those not so interested here are a couple pics.This is what I did before I started puttering with the garden tractors.
