Duke looks real good!

Take a break now, rest up for the show & when your back get going on the 701 at a nice relaxing pace!

I'll have to stop in on you & have a look at the RJ :omg:

Duke the tractor looks great,I don't know what your thinking on the footrests but I put clear 3/4'' id tubing on mine cut to length and you don't notice it and you can wear your shoes. :omg:

Thanks Guy's Stevenator Ya know on the footrests I was thinking some suran wrap shrink wrap stuff and just take it off while I'm showing the tractor and like before a parade put a couple wraps of that on the footrests. :drool:

I wish I had a good pic to show of them but it's funny it worked great because at a few shows guys said oh you gotta get something on the footrests. After ya drive it in the parade or something you just wipe them off.

I have to say, I've seen Steve's RJ up close and didn't notice the tubing on the footrests. He said it was on there and I had to look twice to see it.
