I got this tractor as a teen. it took me years and lots of help but i got it done in 2015. my late dad was very proud to see it completed. I used all american parts went threw the motor and threw the transmission. i am very proud of it she is my baby. i also have a deck and original snow plow. I did push snow with it in 2016 just to say i did. LOL 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That’s awesome! Beautifully done, the time and effort show in your work. If you get a chance, could we see the reverse side of the advert?

Proud of ya.. i bought the seals and bearings from it use to be called beary bearings now called motion industries locally i asked for american made seals and bearings i figured since the tractor was mostly made here in indiana i figure id stay with parts made in the usa if i could and i did.

Lee1977 7,056 #12 Posted December 18, 2018 Great looking RJ. That $384.50 would be $3,353.24 now. Your money back then was worth something. It's hard to find things that are totally made in the USA now. 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It has been very hard this last 2 years and specially the last 7 months. i saved all of the equipment dad had and my adopted mom and sisters have gotten greedy and took over everything except what i have in 2 sheds i bought. they havent spoke to me our my kids in the past 7 months. we did sell a few things at first but i never kept a dime for myself i always split everything. Oh well i guess. i tried my best to do the best i could with the situation we were delt and it backfired on me. i am very thankful to have you tractor guys and gals believe it or not you all have been my best counseling. LOL! I still have parts and stuff just no where near what i saved. we stored everything on my sister erins friends place and her friend said a lie and now my family is not talking. i have been up and down alot. my dad was always a piece maker and i am to but this time i just cant i got stabbed in the back pretty bad. its ok to mad at me but to take it out on my kids is not right at all. they already lost there grandpa now there aunts and grandma. But anyways sorry for babbling Thanks for the kind words. if you ever need something just give me a ring. 260-242-7785 i live in avilla 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
