I know, I'm a slacker. But in the mean time... picked up a YM1700 for $3000. Check them out...

Santa and Mrs. Claus joking with hubby about me plowing in my heels with a handbag. They just don't know.

Me with this thing on the back of the truck - Don't ask how we got that thing up the ramps. Or even better, how we got it down. It weren't purtty.

Daddy with his jealousy buy... mwuahahhaahaaa I still WIN!

Totally sulking that the stupid neighborhood association parked me. Glad I don't have one of those... there would be some houses burned down.

Hey you got it with a rear grader!!! That lone was worth buying the tractor for!!! Thumbs up all the way!

Too bad you live in GA, I wouldn't mind someone getting my wife into tractors whole new type of fashion show!!!

 

[AnnieOakley]

OH NO JOKE!!! I LOOOOOVE these things. I'm telling you... a front end loader and NOTHING in my town is safe. I'll level things they didn't know existed. HA HA

Thanks! It came to me by accident... was advertising something on craigslist and offered to trade for garden tractor - not even mentioning the Sears - guy in Athens got back to me said he had this thing and would take $100 for it!

SCOREEEE!

Dirt, Like the paint and the autograph. Can we get a close-up?

 

[AnnieOakley]

SWEEEET!!! I really need some Ag tires. I like how you just used block to weigh it down a bit.

I finally decided on the paint job - I'm going to paint both our tractors olive drab with the WWII P-40 Warhawks - the flying tigers or sharkmouth planes like these

I think it would be a good tribute to my Granddaddy (WWII Vet of the South Pacific and the only one in his platoon to make it home) - and would satisfy my husband's manly thing. Plus.. it would look kick a$$. ;-)

That's the grand plan. I'll order the carb soon (next week or so). I know it needs a battery too - other than that it's supposed to be good. So we'll see. I'll record the first turn over

I love old Military war planes! The old B29's like in "Memphis Belle" are my favorite! Love how they painted them up with their women

Is it hard to get parts/repairs done for a YM1700 Gray Market tractor? I see Gray Market tractors come up on Craigslist by me every so often.

GT, the Memphis Belle was a B17.

Minor detail I know, but we've stumbled into one of the few topics I care more about than old tractors!

Nice trubute to your Grandaddy AnnieO, I take any chance I get to talk To and About our WWII vets. What you're planning will make your tractors quite the conversation starters.
