I don't know if I can say the name here but there is a good website of a guy that collects bantams, panzers and other rare tractors like the garden master. Its a very nice collection. If mods ok it , I will leave it. im sure some of the members already know it.

I sometimes forget the rules and don't want to break any if I can help it.

When convincing one's spouse if you should buy a tractor or not I usually will tell you it is easier to ask forgiveness than to beg for permission.

When following the rules of this site I tend to lean the other way.

I know fleabay, CL and jungle site links are forbidden but I'm not sure about other websites....

Your welcome Eric, yes there is some cool stuff. There is a sign on some property not far from me that has one of the Ottawa tractors painted on it. Used to be a farm but makes me wonder what was the inspiration for that particular tractor? If I find anything else of interest, Ill be sharing it as well.

I took a quick gander at that just now. That looks wicked cool. You bet I'll be sharing that site to other people.

For goodness sake! Why did you tell him that? If he does anymore thinking about Colossus, it'll not be finished this time next year.

Maybe nudge him a bit? It does have my attention. Always look forward to something different.

Trina and I have been spending a little more time messing with the tractors the last week or so. Getting caught up on some other stuff.

Should be making fairly regular progress on the two current projects now.

Oh no worries. 

I've LOTS of things I've started and not finished. 

Oddly enough... No tractor projects yet have gone that way. 

 

I have most of the parts already set aside. Just got to pile them all on the frame now.

Are you saying Trina and her mother are going finish up Colossus for you? We already know that they get things done.

No way I'm denying that!!

Many people don't realize this, but that Garden Master G tractor that's featured in the video is actually related to Wheel Horse!

 

The GM of Garden-All (Glenn Heilmann) was Harold Pond's brother in-law. Harold, Elmer and Glenn all originally worked with each other at Shaw Mfg. Wheel Horse actually aquired Garden-All when they went bankrupt in 1959/60 and the very last Garden-All tractors were painted Wheel Horse red/white. 

 

So it is relevant!
