Thanks ,
It is still exciting to me to see my projects in Farm Show. I've never taken my mini tractors to a show so this way people can see some of my creations. I try to tweak my machines to look different than other people have made.

This picture was taken several years ago with Mark Jackson. I drooled over his jd 110's with front end loaders. I am excited to now own three jd 110 round fenders of my own. It would be fun to try to duplicate a front end loader like these on one of my 110's.

Several people have asked me when I am going to build the mini dozer garden tractor project. I thought it would be fun to share exactly what I want to build. These pics give a good idea showing rubber tracks and high tracks . I'm thinking if my mini 4020 doesn't sell I may strip it down and use it for my mini dozer. Then I would only have to buy the tracks and parts.:thumbsup:

I found this original doodlebug picture with the front axle before I changed it over to 14 inch front tires.
at 13 I had so much fun on this crazy old outfit.

Here is a picture of my jd 1050 before I built the cab and modified a front loader to fit it. I also built a bucket grapple for it. Also my long green line in my driveway. Keep in mind I had a small lawn care business and no helpers. In 15 years I never hired one person or let anyone drive my tractors. My lawn care friends used to tell me horror stories how the young kids tore up all their equipment. So I just picked the best customers and did it all myself summer and winter. I never got rich but I sure enjoyed it.
