JimmyD 16 #1 Posted October 30, 2016 (edited) Howdy everyone, I just picked up a B-100 along with mowing deck, hitch, chains and plow! I think it's a '74 but not sure. Runs like a champ and I can't wait to get cutting up some leaves and grass next weekend. It's my first tractor for my first real house and yard. I plan to work the tractor. It's in fairly good shape for being even older than me, just some faded paint but very little rust. It's missing it's headlight lens though and I'd like to find one since I may be plowing at night this winter. I plan on really going through the cutting deck this winter and getting new blades and making sure it's ready for next year. I'd also like to find a suitable utility trailer for the yard.

JimmyD 16 #12 Posted November 1, 2016 Thanks for the welcome. Yeah, that's my boy Jack up there, he's almost 2 and loves tractors! Anything with wheels really. He's a chip off the old block in that regard. At least he got his mothers looks. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
