How many can you haul with your current setup??? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Blondeflutterby 45 #52 Posted July 16, 2017 As Deadguy's wife, I'd just like to say how much fun I had wrangling with him this weekend. It's so awesome to have a hobby (borderline addiction) that we can do together. I have learned so much, including how expensive it is when both of you love horses. The memories made and the thrill of the hunt with him are things I'll treasure forever. See you at Symco! 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Achto 28,856 #53 Posted July 17, 2017 Welcome to our addiction @Blondeflutterby Good to hear that you three are in this together & that you had some good family time. Like I said before to @Deadguy. If you guys need some more trailer space to make choosing which 's to bring to Symco easier, let me know. I would be willing to haul some for you. I can get 4 on my trailer, or if you really can't decide I can bring the 32' trailer. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can definitely see the expense of it if you both want to grow the collection. I'm glad you are a member here, good to have your perspective to the hobby--please share your thoughts! AND... Continue to document your experiences with these tractors---it is really neat to look back at years down the road! Here is a pic of me on my dads 875 about 38 years ago--- (Mom in the radio flyer!) me on the same tractor tractor two weeks ago... It is really nostalgic for me to just start that tractor--every sound takes me back over a lifetime of experiences on it. The family is most important but these little tractors can be neat threads that tie memorable times with said loved ones together! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'll talk it over with Deadguy. 21 minutes ago, PeacemakerJack said: I think it is really cool that you share this hobby with your husband and family!

We hope our son will treasure them as he grows too. This is how we announced the pregnancy last year. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

How many can you haul with your current setup??? Right now, we can haul one tiny frame tractor like a Ranger or Suburban series, and one short or medium frame tractor.

Deadguy 861 #57 Posted July 18, 2017 The 701 is now running! I ended up having to change out the coil and condenser. While I was at it I cleaned and set the points, and changed the transmission oil too. It was gross, of course. But now it starts right up and purrs like a kitten. Or a horse that thinks it is a kitten.... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Deadguy 861 #58 Posted July 21, 2017 The Lawn Ranger I picked up now lives! It only needed an exhaust, carburetor, air cleaner, belts, a Lawn Ranger seat..... 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
