oliver2-44 10,390 #1 Posted March 29, 2022 Well we've seen lots of nice tractor pictures on everyday of the week. But I know to our suspicion or surprise they weren't all perfect inside when we found them. Plus some of us have broken a few things working them hard, or just dumb moves lol.. SO LET'S SEE YOUR CARNAGE....BROKEN, TWISTED, CORRODED, RUSTED but beloved Wheeelhorses and other thinks! My 1st 3 Piece Transmission to open. The well rusted cluster gear from that transmission. Another transmission the PO swore had been under roof all its life! A beautiful David Bradley 2 piece rim ready for repair. Who hasn't opened up an ethanol encrusted carb these days. How did that happen! Just a little thin and bent up filler neck. Not a tractor, but tree roots cause some "FUN" home repair problems! 10 1 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
midpack 975 #2 Posted March 29, 2022 Does this count? This is probably the best you could expect when you drop a piano on your foot! Plate and 5 screws. It will be a year on April 27th. There were 2 broken bones 11 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 64,724 #8 Posted March 29, 2022 Here’s some bathroom carnage. The master bath installers glued tile to the drywall with no waterproofing. When the grout swelled and gave way, well… I ended up gutting it and gave them a waterproof shower and solid, mold free bathroom 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 64,724 #10 Posted March 29, 2022 @RandyLittrell I hope you didn’t have a full bucket! I had a front wheel come off of Putt Putt pre-restoration and on a light round hood that was excitement enough! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,656 #23 Posted March 30, 2022 Man! The things we go thru on these tractors because of people just do not care about maintenance and we get stuck with them. But I guess that is half the fun of these tractors. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
