Default "nother new guy...

Hey Guys,

Name is Steve, Gadgetry is the hobby, or lifestyle I guess.

I grew up on a farm, driving Farmall and International. My Father and Brother still run the farm with all the old Farmalls and a few newer Red ones. I decided it was time to get in the "tractor club" with them, but a Cub is as big as I could validate, and this one is quite large for my little yard but what good is life without a bit of indulgence!

So, about a week ago I picked up a 147



Along with it came a rough looking 42" deck. Needless to say, I've now gotten familiar with all the workings of the deck after a full rebuild, straightening and welding of the broken spindle housing.

After a week of tinkering with the tractor, the steering box is rebuilt and much better, and now with the deck installed, on to solving the last few issues, so I can go cruise around the yard and accomplish something other than just driving and smiling! ( Funny how the neighbors look and stare if you just go drive circles around the house for the fun of it! )
