BPEisenhower 485 #1 Posted January 27, 2020 Hello all! Long time no chat. Finally able to get out and do something even though it's not planting or mowing season. This project had to come home with me. Better yet, I hauled it and the wife to be claimed it. Does run but needs carb. And the blue oval seat must go per her request! 😆. Good to be back! 8 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Looking forward to seeing your updates... No idea Massey Ferguson was so popular! Got a 12 that unfortunately has sat outside for 20 years in the hedge row with a blown Tecumseh 😖. And yes, she is borrowing with out the intent of returning 😄. Can't complain since there are so many worse vices! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You'll likely be ok. Future purchases can be followed by phrases such as "Oh no no honey.... I got this for you" 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thank you pullstart!! Surprisingly, she has no qualms about doing her research and being up to her elbows in grease, oil and having to shower in Dawn dish soap 😅. Now she wants me to teach welding and fabrication 😮. Does Miller, Hobart, or Lincoln make a his/her machine?! 😝 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
