MikesRJ 552 #186 Posted June 14, 2010 Vince, John, Brian, Bob M., the other "Bob" (D)., Ray, Jim, Steve, Charlie, and everyone else who helped me complete this project along the way, This one's for you guys ... this is not the maiden voyage (I reserved that one for myself), but it is the second trip around the driveway! Yahooooo and Yippeeeeee! I tinkered with the carburetor a little more this morning and got it running a bit better. I'll still let Charlie do a fine-tuning tomorrow afternoon, and let him teach me how to be carburetor tuner self-sufficient. But what a day to finally get to tool around on it; it's been 13 months in the making! 2nd Voyage - YouTube Video: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Suburban 550 28 #192 Posted June 14, 2010 Where's the socks and shoes, Mike? The novelty of a freshly painted tractor gets old pretty quick. I did that with my two on their maiden voyages except I kept my socks on. Good Luck with it, Mike. :wh: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 14,897 #193 Posted June 15, 2010 Looks like we're going to see Mike cruising around the WHCC show quite a bit. I know he's not going to be sitting still. Bob Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wallfish 15,919 #194 Posted June 15, 2010 IT'S ABOUT TIME !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Must be a good feeling to finally ride her. I can see by the way you came out of the garage that you discovered the steering is a bit quick on these little machines. I almost ran into my house and van on my first try. Started out between them in 3rd. The old lady was laughing her a$$ off and making fun of me. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
