I would be getting this picture blown up ,framed and hanging in the shop. Great ! Yeah Martin, he was wondering why I didn't just finish up today. He said "but dad, all you have to do is put the engine and the tires back on". I said there was a little more to it than that, and he just looked at me like he thought I was being lazy. SHeeeeSH!! Hydro, I just may do that. It was Love AT First Sight! Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

bowtiebutler956 650 #157 Posted May 15, 2012 Well, rather than boring everyone talking about the tractor, I'll let the pics speak for themselves. We're getting close now! Oh by the way, Byron! Byron, is a buddy of mine! Matt :flags-texas: 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,130 #160 Posted May 15, 2012 I think the brand name Standard is so appropriate in this particular instance, because I imagine Danny is gonna be setting the standard on that bad boy, once it's finished. Looking really good so far Matt. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiebutler956 650 #161 Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks everyone! Not much left now, I still have to wire it, along with various other odds, and ends. Danny is bouncing off the walls happy! I'm not sure he'll sleep tonight. Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,164 #164 Posted May 16, 2012 Very nice! I bet your son and his tractor will get all kinds of attention at the tractor shows with it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bowtiebutler956 650 #165 Posted May 16, 2012 Thanks to all for the kind words. I actually rode it around today, wow did that bring back some childhood memories. Still have a little wiring, and some carb work to do, but overall it was great. I'm not going to tell Danny I was riding it! I have to say that it felt alot smaller than it did when I was a kid.

bowtiebutler956 650 #169 Posted May 18, 2012 His birthday is the 25th Craig, but I did take a short video of the tractor today for practice. If I get it figured out, then there should be a video up here in a while. I wanted to do this, so I wouldn't mess up on the video of the Big Birthday Reveal.

bowtiebutler956 650 #172 Posted May 18, 2012 I guess my camera doesn't take very good video, it doesn't look near as shinny in that video as it does in person. Oh well, its the only camera I have. I was really quite pleased with myself, that's the first video I've ever done. Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jake Kuhn 1,555 #173 Posted May 18, 2012 Sure looks and runs good. You have much better video taking skills than I do LOL Jake Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
