here are a few pictures of my first collector tractor that i picked up around 16 or so years ago...

it turns alot of heads when it comes out of the shed and makes it to a show.

i got it out of a garage sale, at the time for my son to drive.

my son is 18 yo  and is building a 654 to carry on the tradition

They are definitely a neat little tractor. Unique all on their own.

yes the best strange looks are when people find out that it has no brakes and it was sold that way.

could think of buying something today with out brakes...

not only am i going to bypass my seat switch :eek:     i am also going to disable my brakes too :)

That I never realized, so i guess when you want to stop you just throw your two feet to the ground and hope you don't get them caught under the deck... I can do without that seat garbage but no brakes....that's crazy!

I wish I could watch one of these in action doing what they were intended to do. Don't get me wrong, I think they are one of the coolest trinket tractor's I have seen and I know they are highly collectible. After all, If they weren't rare, valuable and collectible Matt, (grnlark) would have zero interest in them.. With that said, who was their customer back in the day?

I've scaled back a bit. Lol. This is the only pic I have right now of some of them.

I have three with factory brake kits. They're suprisingly very easy and comfortable to ride.
