More Fun Than I Ever Guessed Posted by terry vidal on 11/14/2013

Five years ago I bought this old thing that was made when I graduated high school, 57 years ago. I put a 5 ft brush hog behind it to bring back a 7 acre pasture that was about to become a forest again. I've also hauled firewood and given grandchildren and nieces hay rides pulling a trailer.

She burns no oil, and is as easy to diagnose, tune and fix as my first late '30's car. I've found old and new parts including a fan shroud, by searching online.

Recently I converted the inadequate 6 volt system to 12 volts, and that was as easy as pie. With all this cranking power I plan to power up in the winter, and am considering putting a snow plow on it. Anyone done that? Summing up: the most fun I've had spending $3,000.
