Riley088 63 #1 Posted May 9, 2013 (edited) As some of you my screen name Riley088 is after my daughter Riley who was born in 2008. Last year she decided to take claim of my 1077 that was in really nice original condition. Everytrhing on it worked the way it was supposed to with no issues so I felt safe with her on it .She loved taking around the yard with of coarse myself or my wife right with her. Torwards the end of last season she said "daddy i want you to paint my tractor this winter" I was thinking this will be a nice winter project. Then she said "daddy I want it pink" so off to home depot to let her pick out what color pink she wanted. the tractor was taken all the way down and the work began. It was a great one to do. She absolutly loves it and thats what makes it worth it. Enjoy BEFORE Edited May 9, 2013 by Riley088 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,514 #6 Posted May 9, 2013 Oh wow! If my granddaughters see the pink, woooooo is me! There should be a rule, "OK to have a pinky, but don't let forum members with granddaughters see it!" It's bad enough with grandsons, wagon is loaded with skateboard stickers! Skateboard coarse grip tape, as son suggested, is great on the footrests. Holds up real well too!

Don1977 604 #7 Posted May 9, 2013 You don't have a back bone to stand up for what's right. You need to tell them you will paint any color they want as long as it's Wheel Horse Red. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
