Recommended Posts

My two boys(Jon and Jason)and I put this tractor together over Christmas vacation completely from spare parts. We took stuff from at least a dozen or more tractors in our salvage yard and from the spare parts shelves along with a thirty dollar swap meet 16 hp engine. We did spend a little money on two new belts and a carb gasket but that's it. It will get it's shakedown run this winter plowing snow and then go to work mowing at a cemetery that we take care of next summer. We just can't take anything from the collection to work like that!!

Hey Ron, are those 10.5 wide tires on the back?

Just the right tool for the amount of snow (or lack of) that we have been getting.

Boy, sure looks nice. DOES NOT look like a conglomeration of parts at all. Your "collection" of spare parts looks as nice or better than my B-208 which was put together by the factory!

Good job. Nice to see the younger generation involved.:)

Looks good. Have you figured out a "model" name for it? Would be an interesting parts list.
