start of my weekend- landlord in the swamp PART 1

[perry 1]

the girl has been doing me good towing and draging all theese tractors around. to end my friday night i wanted to get some thorn tree brush i cut earlier in the day out of the yard so the youngins did'nt get poked. i thought i could sneak it into my brush spot if i took the highside. well'ah....see the pics. the first few pics are draggin a dead tractor. this is what happens to the dualls driving around the place.

theese old simplicitys are some strong tractors. i tryed to tow this one on the hook but could'nt keep the front down. so i had to drag it up hill threw the muddy trail with a locked rearend, frozen steering, flat tires, & the mower deck draggin. took me a few trys to get'er going but once it started to move i put the hammer down and draged it out of the woods and around to the garage.

this was a complete tractor. here it is coming out of the garage and going to the scrap pile. notice no mud on top side of rear tires. locked solid hydro.

as you can see i got it out of the hole and was starting to get out, then all of a sudden the poor girl stopped dead. if you'all remeber back when i was plowing snow i had this happen. the darn coller that holds the hub on came loose again and the hub pulled away from the gear.
