Maybe I should run down the street a piece and spread the news.

 

There is an old feller about 1.5 miles from me that has a Work Horse.

Mythbusters did an episode on that very subject.  Turns out that you can.

@Easton Rich If this is the one you’re thinking of then, yes!! I’m very happy the Work Horse is the featured tractor as I am the original owner of this machine.

Painted the frame and engine. Then sanded / cleared all tins for a nice patina worker look. New throttle cable, gas cap, tune up, keys switch pigtail and wiring,  and new seat. She is ready for the big show. May possible sell at the show if anyone is interested.

I wish Ole' Rusty looked like that! But then again, he wouldn't be the worker that his.

I'm gonna do one last mow sometime between tomorrow and Sunday, then wash for the show.

 

She's been running a little funny lately, hopefully I don't have another major issue before the show.
