Fired up the smokin 73 and took it down to see the bee hives. That tractor steers very easy and is very tight (responsive) in the steering. Weather was just around 50 degrees and all the bees were in the boxes. Just made it back to the sugar house when it ran out of gas. I think it would look great with a big set of wide ag tires tucked under those round fenders. Hope to have the 147 home tomorrow after noon. Trying to decide if this one will go to Eric (son). He needs a mower. This tractor comes with a 48 inch deck and a spare damaged 42 inch deck and a front blade.
I know, I need to get some pictures posted too.
Pulled a tire off the front of the 86 and took the tire off. Rim is a little rusty. wire brushed it and may try to put in a valve stem and buy some new skins for it.
Regards,
Chris
