smoreau 658 #1 Posted June 4, 2012 I got some running boards installed last weekend and added a second clutch pedal to the tractor, but still need to make a belt guard for the custom starter generator. My daughter, Gabby, has really taken a liking to this little gem! She loves to ride it as often as she can. I would love to have it all painted up by the Charlotte show this year, but with looking to buy a house this summer, my time is very limited. Any way hear are some pics of the tractor. I hope to have a video up of her driving it around, but it's taking forever for it to upload I will post it soon. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,352 #2 Posted June 4, 2012 Runnin boards came out great, safety is no joke when it comes to our kids. I like the "quick-disconnect" for the steering wheel. Mike............ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kelly 1,029 #4 Posted June 4, 2012 Looks great Scott, bring lots of gas to the show I'm sure she will be riding it alot. You think about tucking the top of the boards under the fender for a bit cleaner look?? but still look great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smoreau 658 #6 Posted June 4, 2012 Looks great Scott, bring lots of gas to the show I'm sure she will be riding it alot. You think about tucking the top of the boards under the fender for a bit cleaner look?? but still look great. I might try to get the top of the boards up under the fender this winter when it gets a paint job. Just too busy looking at houses with a garage to park my tractors in. That k161 runs for hours on a tank of gas! wish my other tractors would last that long on a tank! You can tell Gabby sure loves her tractor, by the way she ain't lettin' go of that steering wheel. She loves her tractor Craig. Just glad she likes the hobby. Know if I can get her to plow the drive in winter........ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AMC RULES 37,133 #7 Posted June 4, 2012 Paint it pink, then you wouldn't be able to pry her out of the seat. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
smoreau 658 #8 Posted June 4, 2012 Paint it pink, then you wouldn't be able to pry her out of the seat. She likes pink, But there's no room for a pink tractor in my stable! I have to draw a line somewhere. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smoreau 658 #13 Posted June 4, 2012 What is wrong with a pink tractor for your little girl? I new your going to say that Scott. She wants it red like her dad's tractors. But that could change before I paint it :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smoreau 658 #15 Posted June 4, 2012 I agree with that 100% We went for a 2 mile ride this afternoon and she asked if we could do it again this evening after dinner. You know I can't say no to that! here's last years pic of her driving my 520 at the Charlotte show. I think this show really got her interested in the WH tractors! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smoreau 658 #24 Posted July 21, 2012 Got some of Gabbys tractor all painted with new tires, Here are some updated pictures 2 weeks to go for the show and I have it running, but the carb is acting up and charging system isn't working. The hood is still in primer and needs some more work, but will be painted by Sun. night. Finally got some 3.00-4 try ribs. I think they are very hard to find!! And I have to build a belt guard for the starter generator. More to come Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
