Hi-
It's my lawn mower. Funny, it came from the junk pile of the country club though. They retired it umpteen years ago. The wheels/tires go real good with the turf treads on the rear, too!
Thanks

Hi Guys-
Thank you for the compliments.
Yes, I have been tinkering with this machine since I pulled it out of the junk pile. Would barely run. The major stuff was a bad valve replacement, new main & rod bearings and rebuild oil pump. Ignition system and carb redone. New water pump just for G.P. Just been tinkering while I used it to cut grass for the last couple of years. 4 acre lawn, takes forever with the Crftsman mower!

Thanks Bob-
'72 El Camino. Sm block/auto/ac and cruise. 64k actual. Crap gold! UGH!
If I ever get this tractor done I can get back to it. Put it on hold to redo a '68 Camaro and a '67 Mustang convertible. Enough back burner for the Elky!

Looking good!! When you get'er done, your 4 acres won't
take long - might even be able to run'er up in 3rd gear on
your flat Kansas land. My 7+ hilly acres takes about 5 1/2
hours with my 8's and a 5' finish mower here in Ohio if I
mow before it gets higher than 6" so I can (carefully) use
2nd gear.
