kpinnc 10,705 #8 Posted January 2, 2023 Congrats! The C-1x1 tractors are the best looking "C" models in my opinion. Looks like you're hooked! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 63,079 #10 Posted January 2, 2023 Super cool. You're certainly at a point where it would pay ahead to keep particular things in stock. Transmission fluid. Oils. There are parts every tractor should get during a refresh. If you haven't already done so, take a few minutes to go down through the list of things to address on a new herd member here: You'll be money ahead for sure. Also time and mental energy. Great to see your newest addition!! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I’m so glad he has taken such an interest in it. He’s learning a lot and most things like carburetor’s and oil changes he can do by himself. Also building his 604 from a pile of parts. Other things I help him with and since even tho I’ve been doing this for a while I still don’t know everything so we are learning together. I look forward to every day he asks to go in the garage. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
