Found a tractor in the brush today

You are going to have to put a steering wheel on it and modify the spindles, before it becomes productive.

I have this picture of a grown man, using a piece of string as a tow rope, pulling out the toy tractor and making pretend engine sounds.

That's my plan for later today.

Too bad it wasn't a metal Ertl......

If you need it taken somewhere for restoration my Son is in the Long Haul business. Has been since 1983.

I'd change all the fluids and filters just to be safe....

That shouldn't take long.

Nothing unusual about that! Now driving a Dodge...

The tractor is out!

Using my smallest recovery strap, (3/8 x 6ft) the first job was removing the log that blocked in the tractor.



Then I gradually turned it outward, pulling gently on the front axle, and clearing brush as needed.



Here is is pulled out onto the road and in the parking area. The loader and bucket still work, after the pins were cleaned and replaced. And all four tires were still good! It even has front weights.



The driving controls have no looseness at all. They feel really solid.

Restoration photos will come later.
