You just gotta' admire a man who keeps meticulous maintenance records,    even if it has been fifteen years.               Love ya' @stevasaurus.

Somewhere I have a note pad with my dad's maint records for my truck, from back when it was his, going all the way back to November of 88.

Here is a picture you might enjoy Kevin.  The 702 on the back of my '64 Ford Costom at AJ's Jamboree in 2012.

 

Hy Steve I still like that 64. Cool ride. Your dad did good work on that tractor. I am sure it was hard to let that one go!

That's alright Mike. 

I'm ALL white AND losing my fuzz.  

 

Ain't a single bald person anywhere on my mother's side and that's supposedly what runs the genes..

Guess I'm the new anomaly.

Hey now, that’s wisdom!  I am starting to find some too…

What a great picture Kevin and what a great tribute thread to an Old Horse going to a New Home.  Yes, it was a real tuff decisioon to have to let it go.  When my Sister passed away in March, her daughter had to sell the house there.  I needed to find new storage for 2 of my 5 horses and also for my 16 foot boat.  Keeping the boat meant losing some horses and accessories.  RacinBob and Pullstart were nice enough to help me out.  I'm OK...I still have my Dad's 857, my 876 hydro and the 2010 B-100 Raffle Tractor, mower decks for the Short Frame Square Hoods and Sno-blades for all 3 horses.  My collection is now manageable and turning 75 years old this year is a good place to be.

Here’s one that’ll make a man smile @stevasaurus!  We made it home safe from Symco today and drove straight to Grandma’s (95) and Grandpa’s (85) birthday party.  Mrs. P’s cousin had her son Gordon there.  Well he heard I have tractors with me and couldn’t leave without a ride.

I see you took the deck off ??  How is the horse running for you.  I'm thinking you wouldn't let the little guy run it if it was acting up.  The steering is a little sloppy...but fixable.  How was the show?  I was wondering when you were getting home.  How about a phone call after the dust settles.??  

   Did you guys take any pictures of the festivities ??

We mowed the front patio at Symco, then took the deck off for the show.  I contemplated putting the grader on, but we chose to remove the HY belt because of that little leak.  It’s running great, and we found a couple loose things in the steering that helped tighten it up a bit.  We are relaxing at home for the night, give me a holler some time tomorrow morning and we can catch up

I mainly took video, but need to go through my phone and the Mrs, and put it all together, and weed out pictures to post too.

When he hopped off, he told me “I’m going to get one of these for my birthday.  Or Christmas.”  I made sure to inform his mother, so little man isn’t let down

Where would they ever find a tractor?? You don't happen to know anybody who has 20 or 30 of those laying around do you??

I don’t have a clue.  I heard of a guy down the way I think.  I bet he’s smelly and grumpy though.

That is good info there. A big

I had some spare automatic transmission fluid out of the jug, from soaking auto transmission clutches.  I pressure washed the underside of the deck, let it dry in the sun, then soaked it good, and let it bake into the deck for the day.
