PeacemakerJack 10,738 #4401 Posted April 11, 2020 Had a cool experience with my youngest and his “horse” this evening. Mama had spent some time today weeding out the majorly overgrown red raspberry patch. When she left for work, she asked me if we could get the huge pile of debris taken care of. I knew just the man for the job... ZacMan was more than a little excited to get “Blackbeard” out and stretch his legs after a long winters nap. I was supposed to get the snowthower rebuilt for him this past winter but I never quite got that far. It was surreal sitting on the front lip of the wagon while my 6 year old drove his 50 year old tractor out to the fire pit and back with the wagon in tow. He really enjoys that tractor and I hope that he will make a ton of memories with it over the next 10-15years that will last Him a lifetime—much like I did on my dad’s old 875. After all (to me anyway) it’s not the tractors that are all that important. It is the folks (family and friends) associated in, around, and with them that really are. Even to this day, swinging a leg over my dad’s old 875 takes me back to my childhood and many memories come flooding back. In a day and age, where very few things last or hold any emotional value to someone, it is cool to have some tangible items from a bygone era that were made to LAST! Keep an eye out in his Blackbeard thread. We will be cleaning up and painting the sheetmetal on that thing soon.🤞🏻 4 2 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tractorhead 9,064 #4402 Posted April 11, 2020 Agree 100% Great impressions that never will come back, but stay in your and his memory for eternity. Zach looks once concentrating while driving, but it also looks he have a lot of Fun. The trailer is full, what is talking for itself. But the importantst thing what i remember is, you give him an Job and the Trust to do that whilst being patient in the rear, you have to be maybe with him or without him, that‘s up on him. Maybe he want show you what he can do, maybe he want show you how hard he can Work but whatever he preferrs, to get this Trust from your Father to do things and work with tools you have or even better you own, that sends a mark into your mind, you never will forget in these Age. On my Side it was my Grandpa, that set me this memory‘s in mass because my Father wasn‘t able to do that. Thanks for that short travel back in the Time where this happens. and enjoy the Time you have together 👍 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Screamin’ Jimmy seems wide enough as he is... duals would put him over the 8’6” law I think! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,783 #4416 Posted April 13, 2020 Gave Putt Putt a much needed bath yesterday. He was filthy from last year’s plow day still! When I was on the phone last week with @PeacemakerJack we discussed how plowing does take it’s toll on a tractor and you can’t be worried about it’s looks to particularly. Putt Putt is a testament to that, he’s showing signs of paint chips and wear after just 2 years of frame off restoration. He’s doing what he’s meant to do! 2 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
