Jeanine got to ride a Sr at the Jacksonville show.....

[Martin 2,133]

It all started when Steve from O'Fallon IL (wh500special) turned up yesterday at the show with a senior and lever steer. as soon as Jeanine knew it was there she really wanted to take a ride on it. well fast forward to the end of the day and Steve offered Jeanine an opportunity to ride the senior back to the trailer. heres the pics and videos from the 'adventure".....

 

just want to personally thank Steve for really making her day, it wasnt a perfect trip back to the trailer but she enjoyed every minute of it. i went along for the ride on my 1057 holding the phone to catch the event as it happened......

 

"hey, i want one of these".....

 

 

thats Steve holding the rope up for Jeanine to drive under......

Just well start looking now Martin. Good for you Jeanine!

You know Martin...I was thinking that you and Steve did not really live that far apart.  It would be a lot cheaper to just take Jeanine over to Steve's about once a month.    I knew that Steve would not turn her down for a chance to ride that tractor.   That was very nice of Steve to do that.   Great time at the show and dinner guys.

Get a wagon too. Would be fun to see her pulling you around.

Chicks always get to do the cool stuff.  Steve didn't offer you a ride Martin??

[Martin 2,133]

it came up , but today was her day and i didnt want to take anything away from that. she has wanted a senior for a while now.

It was my pleasure.

It would be pretty pointless to have things like these and not let people enjoy them. Too bad we had so many stalls on her drive.

I siphoned a little gas out of the tank and looked at it in a glass and see quite a bit of rust flecks in there. I think some of the bumps were causing a piece to block up a jet in the carb momentarily causing the engine to starve. I'll have to work on that soon.

If your wife has an interest in this hobby you need to take advantage of that! This is your excuse to seek one of these out and park it in your garage!
