stevebo-(Moderator) 8,040 #1 Posted May 1, 2015 So... this morning my son Brennan who just turned 8 decided he would like to put the wide ag tires on his rat rod. He had a wide set of turfs on it prior. He got up at the crack of dawn and went down in the tent in the back woods and rolled both tires up the hill to the garage. He washed them with white degreaser and steel wool so they would be ready for painting after school. He dragged me out there to help too. Got the tires on and painted. the seat is no what we really wanted so I took the cover off and adhered some leather that I had at the house that I got from a little birdie.... Changed the oil for the very first time (in a long time) and she is ready for him to ride at Zagary. Here are a few pics. 22 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,116 #7 Posted May 1, 2015 Looks real nice! Better watch out for the speed cops at Zagary because that bad boy has got ticket bait written all over it.. I got pulled over there last yr. myself, and I wasn't even going fast. I'm 47 and the guy was yellin at me like I was a little kid. I was ridin this one at the time, My theory is that if they think it looks fast then you must be goin fast! 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wallfish 15,919 #9 Posted May 1, 2015 That boy does love his tractors! Always has a big smile and will ride them ALL day long. When you say "changed the oil" do you mean in the engine or ON the tractor? 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
