hi Folks...

i have had my tractor home for a while and used it quite a bit hauling stumps and dirt and rocks around.

put on some dual wheels to help with the traction issue.and finally got a hood made for it.looks same as original except its 18 inches longer.

now if it would only stop raining on my day off.

last weekend we had over 3 inches of rain and this weekend its more of the same.

if we get a clear day the miss will post a pic of the monster (if im nice).

a 77 i think...very big and now very heavy and lotsa power with the 20 onan and two transmissions.

hey thanks Rob.

thats the tractor,now it has its original grille and a new hood.

even put a new seat on it of a new husky xp tractor.

starting to look better but will need some time in the paint shop.

im thinking of painting it same colours as a new husky,but not sure yet.

Was that F150 traded on the Dodge Hemi?

the F150 is the bosses daily driver.he also owns the dodge but i am its driver.sometimes im not sure who got the better deal.

miss snow also has an F150 that is a nice truck to.

I'd like to paint my tractor the same color as GM uses called Sunset Orange.  That's a favorite color for me. 

The monster is indeed home.

That is one honkin' big tractor!    Bet its a blast to drive, though!

Paula

WOW!!


Looks Good!

Its come a long way.  I like the Stretch look, and the duals tell you it's serious.

A little time in the paint booth and it'll complete the bada$$ look!

Nice Job Chris (Sherry, You'll probably see even less of him now that his new toy is complete!)(Not sure whether thats a good thing or bad thing!?)

I had the privledge of driving it around before the duals went on.  I was past by a snail going backwards up an ant hill.  Funny how low sped a tractor can be - good thing I wasn't in a race.  But I don't think I've completely lost him yet, it's been raining non stop on his day off and he put the tractor outside to bring the trailer in.  He seems to think that the trailer shouldn't want to drop it's load before he's ready for it too.  So he has that all torn apart and is painting it as time permits.  In the evenings after work he's working at leveling some soil so we can plant a veggie garden.  I can't wait!  I've been working on getting a flower garden going as well.  So hopefully we will soon have some color in our yard.

LOL.  That is funny. 

What kind of veggies are you putting in?  I always did tomatoes and peppers. 

Paula

That's too cool for school! Nice job buddy!

So far we have 30 pepper plants.  To go along with these he wants tomato, cucumber, beans, peas, parsnip, carrots, lettuce, pumpkins, and I know I'm forgetting some, but that's just the way I am.  Taz will sure love the cucumbers and lettuce, they are his favorite foods.  (strange dog!)
