I've had this tactor for a couple of years and I finally got around to cleaning it up and painting it.

Still a little detailing to do, but for the most part, there it is!

I'll be ordering a complete set of decals for it real soon,

We have our first pull of the year tommorow , I'll post up some pics.

I'm not sure if I'm sold on the white Steering tower, but I guess it will grow on me.

It's actually a 14 automatic... But since I changed it to a 4 speed.. I renamed my horse with no name.. lol

I believe its a 72.. not a 73

First time I've seen someone pull with ag tires on back words. Was it because of the track conditions?

Yep they are on backwards.. Made the difference to pulling 140 feet to 192.. The top 3 tractors had them on backwards...

Like they say, if ya can't best em, join em!

From what I've been reading, it looks like if you are on SAND or the like, to run them backwards, but in MUD, run 'em normal.

 

I guess that makes sense... pushes the MUD out to keep treads clenn,  on sand or loose dirt, pulls the stuff IN to keep the tire 'floating' and not digging trenches.  Sound about right?

The track was hardpack clay.. you could actually leave rubber marks on the track! that was near the end of the day when the track started to dry out.

Eariler in the day 3 tractors broke because the track was TOO good! 2 wheel horses and a cub made it through
