My latest project (non-fox) Reply #15 – August 25, 2009, 09:34:48 PM $20?! , you DID steal those! They retail for like $100. Fortunately mine were Xmas presents a few years ago so I didn't pay a cent. The new toy looks great, very nice refinishing job! Quote Selected

done Reply #19 – September 28, 2009, 06:17:04 PM Got the 112 project done over the weekend. This was my 1st time working with fiberglass and there was a lot I learned that will make the outcome even better next time. The paint was barely dry and a friend of mine and I were trying to find stuff to try and pull with it. lol.I had a lot of fun with this little project, it was a lot different than working on cars (well mainly cheaper and easier) and is something I can put into good use around the old homestead.Now its back onto the T-bird, as one of the last big cruise-ins of the area is this weekend and I have yet to even hit a show with it this year!!

My latest project (non-fox) Reply #21 – September 29, 2009, 12:49:59 PM Hey thanks. Growing up on a farm we didn't have much JD stuff either. Just a baler and planter. But now that I sell JD equipment I kinda got a bug for them. I have this old 112 and a 1957 720 diesel (one of the old 2 cylinder tractors about a 60 hp) that I bought from my father-in-law. It has the little "pony" motor that you use to start the big motor with. They are kinda like Harley's...nothing else sounds like an old John Deere 2 banger. Quote Selected
My latest project (non-fox) Reply #22 – September 29, 2009, 02:58:14 PM Where's the leafblower turbo?LOLLooks great. I like small motor projects. Like you said CHEAPER! Now if I could drag my old Mini Bike out...Ive always been Kubota. My Grams bought a L175 back in the 70's. Grease it, change the oil, sharpen blades, fuel it up. Only had one issue way back, the tranny wouldnt go in, or come out of gear, cant remember which. He is pretty sure my Uncle was out screwing around on the highway construction dirt hills and messed it up. He went and bought a new one 2-3 years ago. Its nice, ps, auto, 4WD, trac loc select (IDK what to really call it). Didnt need a new one, he just wanted it. We only use it to cut his land. Occasional pulling or plowing. Quote Selected
