Nope didn't water anything. But kept a close eye on me, being a stranger poking around "his" tractor. Also repeatedly kept dropping a ball at my feet, a real mean one he is!
Is this the first PT?

Looks like you sit on the rear half and feet rest on front. That must be interesting.

Looks like the seat is cantilevered out from the front section, similar to the 400 series Power Tracs. Look in the first piture. You'll see the arm coming out of the front section to hold the seat up over the articulated joint.

<font color="blue"> wouldn't MossRoad love to start cleaning this one up?!? </font>
Nope! I've already got one old beat up yellow tractor in my garage in worse shape than that. Wife says if I get rid of it, I can use the $$ to by PT attachments. My guess is it is worth more in scrap metal than running. /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif /forums/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

Yep, MR is correct in that it's cantilevered like our PTs. I thought the overall shape of the ROPS was very similar too (although it probably wasn't called ROPS when it was made).
I didn't look to see if it was 4WD. I did notice a driveshaft that went to the rear axle. The owner said there's a hydraulic motor that turns the driveshaft. Next time I've got extra time I may look at it again and look underneath. This trip was late in the day and he (and we) were getting ready for "go-home-o'clock".
Dang but business is slow today (you'd think the holidays were approaching or something). Think I'll take the rest of the day off and do some 'work' with my PT. I have 10 gallons of gas in the truck bed that I got earlier today and am eager to start using it.
A few people have accused me of buying a "toy" (my PT). I have to patiently explain that a BOAT is a toy, my PT is a TOOL (and more fun than a boat?). /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
