Pretty in Pink?

Ok just got a new one.It was the tail end of an estate sale and this did not go.A friend called me and said hey I think it's free, here is the address. I got it home and was happy with my first foot dragger.I drove it around and came back and eyed the tiller and the mint condition deck.Big smiles I was. Soon after I went in and got my wife.I said come here you have to see this honey. She came out and said "Oh how adorable" followed by "can I have it" ? I said sure thinking we will call it hers but I will make it my lawn machine in the end. Well I went to town yesterday with her and she visited the Ace hardware store while we were there.I will say no more other than this.I would rather have her plugging along side me than threatening divorce for bringing home yet another Simplicity or AC.So this is a good thing right? [img]/club2/attach/billy7016/pink3.JPG&[/img] For the record.The hood is fabricated and is not OE.It was painted black and very ugly along with hot here as it was 117 degrees F last week here.But it matters not because Pink is what it would be anyways. Now as I walked back from my daily routine at the garden today I swung by the back yard to see How she was doing with the little "girl" as she calls it.She has pink paint smuged on her cheek and her hands are semi black from sanding when she looks up and says "Do Ya think My tractors sexy" ! Oh god What have I started!

i wish my wife could be that happy, she just wants her parking spot back in the garage!!!!!! (that my tractors are parked in)

Billy,I hope you told her yes!! RHA

yeh I told her about the "bismol" and she agrees.But my power of designe is somewhat limited as I fail to see the whole picture according to her.The hood will in fact recieve a rose mural.Or in her words " a flame job with roses instead of flames".She also wants a white seat and to stitch a rose in the backrest.
