How nuts can an old man get??
My garden is 6 feet wide and 20 feet long. I went out today and bought my fourth tractor.
Anybody have a straight jacket handy??“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”

What do you use the tractor for?
I just use a big fork, a large hoe, a scuffle hoe, and a shovel. lol!It's 'tough love' for the bees here at Wayward Girl Apiary.

Re: How nuts can an old man get??
This raises a question in my mind.
How can you drive a tractor with a straight jacket on?

USE IT??
Heck no. If I get everything fixed and running, I put a for sale sign on it.

If you get enuf of them together you won't have to go far for parts, if they are all the same. I bet they are all different though, aren't they?

Re: How nuts can an old man get??
Is that all you got when you bought it of have you already torn it down that far?

Re: How nuts can an old man get??
Don't know about the Hoyt, but the house looks similar to the one I grew up in.
The tractor was complete other than the distributor and coil. I have taken it down to sand blast and paint.
ABK, it may not need it, but it's gonna get it anyway.“Listen to the mustn'ts, child. Listen to the don'ts. Listen to the shouldn'ts, the impossibles, the won'ts. Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me... Anything can happen, child. Anything can be.”
