Sounds like you have a good eye for picking quality tractors and women!  I highly recommend that you keep both! The pics of your Power King show that it is in excellent condition, with the sheet metal looking straight and minimal rust if any. Won't take much to restore it, and as I mentioned earlier, they are/were awsome machines! Capable of maintaining very large gardens, and built to last for MANY years. I've always got my eye open for one in my area, but they sell for big $$$$$$$ near me.

Despite the high cost of living, have you noticed how it remains so popular.

Sherri,
I admire your efforts to help the less fortunate in society. Allowing that homeless street alky to try Chris's new tractor will inspire him to make a better life for himself, no doubt. He will want to register in a provincial re-training program to become a heavy equipment operator, and thereby become a useful member of society...stealing P&H shovels, Case front-end loaders and flat beds off construction sites, creating new sales opportunities and jobs for insurance adjustors. <<< my apologies: the devil had a pitchfork to my back: "Post what I say, or I'll return you to the land of ice and snow or Nova Scotia, land of permanent rainfall and mosquitos that swallow ravens whole." So, I had no choice ....really.... the 24/7 BBQ season here suits me>>>
