Tractor no. 15 !! It will be Cat yellow and have TRACKS !

No, the loader is just for looks , just a conversation piece at tractor shows.
Sixteen tractors now running . Today I had to remove the carb off the Wards/jd 730 narrow front and clean it and readjust it. Now it runs great ! Also fired up the last two jd 110 round fender tractors. Also a pic of the Cub Cadet running in the back shed. Good feeling when they are all running for the first time after sitting 6 long months. :thumbsup:

On my morning walk I spotted 25 garden tractor tires and rims sitting by the road for trash pickup. I hopped in my truck and picked out the nicest 12 . So now I have 12 more to add to my other 16 , ha,ha. I also saw a bunch of steel tubing on another street but it was already gone:confused3::ashamed:

I sanded and painted the rims yesterday and they look much better. Always fun getting stuff free. :cool2:

You don't let the grass grow under your feet much, do you sir?

As I get older I am slowing down a lot. But happy to say I have walked 100 miles in the last three weeks trying to get in better shape. Yesterday I dragged a little toy jeep home from the neighbors trash . I hand sanded it and repainted and and rewired it with a garden tractor battery. Today I will clean all the connections and try to get it running for my little grandson.

After changing two new wires and three new connectors on the little Jeep it works great with the garden tractor battery. Todays pic is my wife Deb on her jd 68 hauling air.:cool2:

Todays project in my little workshop is to sand down and fill the gouges and a few holes in the plastic fenders on the JD Z-trak I bought last fall for $600.00 . It was not in perfect shape for that price but it works excellent . Also here is a 2 wheel dolly that has sat for several years unused . I am going to tweak it into a Horizontal/Vertical Garden tractor attachment mover .:thumbsup:

Todays project shows the 2 wheel dolly now with a larger , wider rear axle . Also I added some bracing . You can also see I increased the size of the tires a bit:thumbsup:
