Got my 3rd brake light from Lifted5.4Lariat today and put it on. Apparently my truck had the leaky 3rd brake light. I've never seen so much black silicone in my life

 

Took one off that someone had used body adhiesive on.....what a PIA!

 

Here's the tractor. Still have to paint the seat pan and get the wheels and deck sandblasted and painted but it's done for now. Sometime this winter I'll get them done.

 

Looking good Matt!

 

Thanks!

 

Looks sharp! But what does it do? Pull a wagon?

 

I mow with it. The deck is still in the back of my truck. Haven't felt the urge to get it out yet

I'm not sure if I'm going to mow with it as much now or not. I was putting anywhere between 20-30 hours on it a week over the summer. Now that it's got new paint and all new stainless bolts I don't want to use it. Might have to get a "beater" mower

 

 

Good grief!

BTW, did Toro buy out Wheel Horse? I had a riding Toro that had the name Wheel Horse on it.

 

Yes

 

I believe in '86 Toro bought Wheel Horse and in the early 90's instead of the decal saying "Wheel Horse" it said "Toro Wheel Horse" and that was pretty much the only difference. In '97 is when they started going down hill with quality. I bought a 1997 265-6 2 years ago and got rid of it earlier this year. Everything on it was made cheaply.

 

Looks good Matt, use the tractor for what you bought it for.

 

Good lookin tractor. I would put some non slip pads on the foot rests though, maybe on the clutch pedal too.

Already got the shroud dirty! Time to park it

 

Started packing today. Did realize I can pack a lot in a LL Bean duffer bag. Almost 2 weeks worth of cloths. Still have to pack my carry on.

 

I bought some off Ebay for a John Deere 300 series not knowing they were shaped completely different and skinnier. I need to find something that's 6" wide but that seems to be easier said than done
