Wasn’t the B-80 only for the 17 and under crowd?

Yes, winner was given a choice between the B-80 and the @wallfish @Pullstart build. They choose the build tractor.

We donated the onsite build tractor to the raffle so 2 kids would get a tractor from the raffle and it was also another B-80

Wish we had known the original tractor had some minor issues and couldn't be started. Gas couldn't be added due to a tank leak from the grommet. We could've fixed that one up too!

The 8 year old boy that was present got to choose and he chose the build tractor. He took off full throttle in third gear with a huge smile on his face and kept going until we couldn't see him any more.

Yah the B was in rough shape. I bought @Mike'sHorseBarn niece tickets cause she did me a huge favor. After we went and looked at it I shoulda put her tickets in the LR tub. That's why I think Pullstart should paint it pink and give it to her. It (the LR) looked to be in decent shape. Maybe even a resto??

Course he's got nieces that might like it too.

We both know @Pullstart isn't a resto guy. It'll have cragers, a diesel engine, and dual exhaust before winter!

I haven’t posted, because I’ve only heard say that I won.  I messaged the club on FB to verify, before saying anything.   @kthack657 promptly messaged me to tell me I’d won.  I already left the show, and was past the Breezewood plaza when the message came through.  It’ll be tucked into storage until next year.  It’s not the first time I’ve thrown $100 in tickets at the raffle tractor.  This year I sold a nice recoil to @rj35hunter Clay and sent that cash right to the raffle to support the club.  It was also the first time I’ve ever left before the raffle was in action.  I pushed hard to get home to Momma like she asked.
 

I figured I would see how well Mrs. @Pullstart likes it as a cruiser before donating it back.  She only has Frank and her Senior, but a decent little gear jammer makes sense to me.

Is is not only nice to see younger folks get an interest in the hobby, but imperative that the old iron get into the hands of folks capable of caring for them.....

Anyone know who got the RS Banner? 

[nylyon-(Admin) 9,032]

I did not recognize the fella who grabbed it.

The cragars would probably be done by me

For real old school look, IMHO nothing beats a set of chrome reverse rims & a set of baby moons.....
