We were getting the back hoe/front end loader and Rylee just had to come home with her very own tractor! 4 4 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,834 #29 Posted October 30, 2019 @WHX24 you’ll be happy to know this deck is seized up right tight! I pulled the belt off the PTO bell last night and will work on fishing out of the deck drive soon. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevasaurus 22,717 #31 Posted October 30, 2019 You know...Kevin, how you guys got around to Filly reminded me of that song in the Music Man..."Ya Got Trouble". OMG...WHX?? is naming his horses??? The Bronco is Nagurski. the 701 is Rodger's the 857 is Cuttler the RJ is Francis the 876 is Joe Buck 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,834 #32 Posted October 30, 2019 With a capital “T” @stevasaurus! Today we were looking for a belt guard. I found one in the pile that I thought might do the trick, then thought of “Big Junky” my 1276 with a 10 horse Kohler on it. I figured Big Junky would be much better suited with a wrong guard, and Filly would be better off with a proper guard. It’s not perfect, but it’ll keep that kid safe. 3 1 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ClassicTractorProfessor 5,314 #45 Posted October 31, 2019 Can’t think of a better way for a father to spend time with his children than passing on his love of tractors to them. Awesome pics Kevin. Both of my boys love the tractors, Krystopher even told me the other day when we took my C125 out for a ride that he wants a tractor of his own, might make a good birthday present. Crap I better hurry that’s coming up in a couple weeks. She looks happy as can be riding on her new tractor, and the fact that she bought it with her own money makes the deal even that much better. Keep up the good work teaching those kids right, and keep the coming along the way 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 62,834 #49 Posted April 14, 2020 I snatched Filly down from storage and put the charger on her. Maybe tomorrow Rylee can take a parade lap or two! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 62,834 #50 Posted April 14, 2020 The BFGoodrich Silvertowns have great tread, but they were filled with calcium chloride and have eaten away at the wheels. I imagine Rylee will want to keep those shoes, but we’ll have to see about another set of wheels for her. And by the way @WHX24, the PTO belt IS off, but she’s too short to reach the stirrups yet. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
