Yeah Martin, he was wondering why I didn't just finish up today. He said "but dad, all you have to do is put the engine and the tires back on". I said there was a little more to it than that, and he just looked at me like he thought I was being lazy. SHeeeeSH!! :ychain:

Hydro, I just may do that. It was Love AT First Sight! :ROTF:

Well, rather than boring everyone talking about the tractor, I'll let the pics speak for themselves. We're getting close now! :woohoo:

Oh by the way, :WRS: Byron!

Byron, is a buddy of mine!

I think the brand name Standard is so appropriate in this particular instance, because I imagine Danny is gonna be setting the standard on that bad boy, once it's finished. :bow-blue: Looking really good so far Matt. :thumbs:

Thanks everyone! :thumbs: Not much left now, I still have to wire it, along with various other odds, and ends. Danny is bouncing off the walls happy! :ychain: I'm not sure he'll sleep tonight. :ROTF:

Thanks to all for the kind words. I actually rode it around today, wow did that bring back some childhood memories. Still have a little wiring, and some carb work to do, but overall it was great. :woohoo: I'm not going to tell Danny I was riding it! :scared-eek: I have to say that it felt alot smaller than it did when I was a kid. :ychain:

His birthday is the 25th Craig, but I did take a short video of the tractor today for practice. If I get it figured out, then there should be a video up here in a while. I wanted to do this, so I wouldn't mess up on the video of the Big Birthday Reveal. :thumbs:

I guess my camera doesn't take very good video, it doesn't look near as shinny in that video as it does in person. Oh well, its the only camera I have. I was really quite pleased with myself, that's the first video I've ever done. :thumbs:
