Owning a small tractor is a blessing.

Sandman, thank you, I feel better now.

For some years, I was the unofficial BMW motorcycle dealer in Miami. People brought me their bikes and I either fixed them or bought them and then fixed them. At one point I had 27 BMW motorcycles (1952 through 1969), which I thought was a bit excessive, even for me. I came to this conclusion when the only remaining available space to park an R25/3 (250cc single) was on a brick mantlepiece in my house. I figured OK, that's enough.

Down to three now . . . or maybe four . . .

Tractors and motorcycles are like money. Some is good, more is better, and too much is just enough (maybe).

Best Regards,
Mike/(also) Florida

I am rapidly getting there, but not sure if I am on the upswing or the downswing, lol! I sold about 30 Allis Chalmers B, C, CA and one D12 III a couple years ago. The buyer picked most of the stuff up, but not all of it. I pulled 2 Allis Chalmers across the street b4 he got here, and strangely enough a couple more have mysteriously found there way here, so that makes 4 of those.
I also forgot the Farmall Cub that I brought back from Arkansas!
Too many, and I am going after a FEL for the 1210 in the morning.

I used the boom pole on my YM1700 to change the blades on my Hustler Raptor ZTR. I also used jackstands. Recently I upgraded to a Yanmar SA425. The drive belt on the Raptor broke. If you ever tried to push a ZTR, you know why I towed it with the SA425. Pulled to a shaded area, picked up the rear of the Raptor with the bolt on pallet forks, and set it on concrete blocks. Chocked the front wheels and set the jackstands. Got the belt changed, using only a few bad words.
