Technical how long should it take to get this running? update! *now with video! *

Just needs some wax and armor all!

 

I am not! That's an exaggeration!

 

it really says something for good old iron.
i bought this thing for the motor, it had an old wooden box/seat that was falling apart so i fixed it up enough to have a place "keep the drivetrain". it actually works as a tractor quite well. plows snow, pulls stuff and with the old wheel barrel dump "bed" it is/was handy. two things about it, it works best if it has chains on it and it only has one ****** and in high gear with the big tires it is capable of 40+ miles an hour............bad combination with a spring seat and solid suspension......hang on!

 

Like riding a bucking horse at those speeds! Reminds me of a song have a listen if you want. Joe

 

A few videos...

 

F&J I had one of the 1st cases of lime tick bites about 25 years ago back when I lived in N.J. I was acting like I had the flu.The Dr.s finally figured it out thru blood work and told me if I did get right in they might not be able to help me. Glad they caught in time .You have to watch it .It can reappear . I have to be checked every year for it. P.S.I get poison ivy real bad too. Anything with 3 leaves on it I stay away from. I warned my wife when we were weeding one day and she just laughed at me. It took here 3 weeks to get rid of it.Dr, told me run the affected spots under water as hot as you can take it{man it feels better that scratching} then hit it with the location. It works. Bruce.
