Rob XC700 75 #1 Posted July 23, 2017 Hi everyone. I've been a little delayed getting my updated pics to you. Took these pics about a week ago. I will include pics of how the tractor was when I retrieved it, as well. I read a post from someone who named their tractors after the original owners, or the previous if the original was unknown. I would like to introduce everyone to Edward (original owner) . Funny what a good power wash and replacing tires can do. Picked up a blade a week ago, so have to get the bracket painted and mounted. 16 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep, replaced my trailer tires last year because they were weather cracked between the treads. Work great for the tractor. Don't plan to going 50mph on it :-).

That's what I'm hoping. We will see if it outlast the 2014 Husqvarna YT42XLS I cut grass with. Bought this so I don't overwork the K46 transmission in the Husqvarna.

I had a budget, and a couple different ones picked and he felt those would work best in the yard and not tear up the lawn. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TDF5G 2,051 #10 Posted July 24, 2017 Your looks great. It has a mighty fine looking original seat too! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Most don't seem to stand up that good. I was told it spent most of it's life inside when not used. Paint would fade in the sun, but the seat wouldn't get any sun with your ass parked on it, LOL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
