Sparky-(Admin) 19,641 #9 Posted February 14, 2010 Sharp lookin tractor Ken. Did it come with the rear hub-caps? Is that a sticker on the rear tire . Are they new also? Mike......... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JoeMonag 1 #10 Posted February 14, 2010 Ken I think you got a nice tractor, I came very close to buying it the Po contacted me after my offer, with a counter offer, I decided that I wanted an 8 speed instead. Good luck with you new toy, please post pictures after you get the new seat, I believe the PO put new tires on it, and had it all serviced. Enjoy your new toy, Joe in Norton Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,116 #19 Posted February 14, 2010 Here are some daytime pics. I gave Big Red a quick bath and hit the paint with the buffer. Its nice enough to not repaint the entire tractor. I'll do a few touch ups and I'll fix the grey stripe where the angle arm bracket for the plow rubbed it. I'll have to do something about the gold metal flake as well. Whats up with that?
