OCTOBER [fall] COFFEE POT 11 years old. Grits and sweet ice tea for the southern gents. Coffee and donuts for the Yankees.

Fife, 

What are ya hoping t do with it? They are nice Lil tractors but too light to do much work.  Attachments are hard to come by as well . They only fit Cubs.  Three point hitch is standard across most brands. Are the tires loaded?  Were they ever?  If a loaded tire leaks and not fixed correctly and soon the rims rot out in no time. Any blowby coming out the crankcase vent? Tells you what shape the rings are in. Couple things to look at before pulling the trigger. 

 

 

I agree with Kev.  Ya need both

Fife,
I have to agree with Banks on the cub. They are light duty and not the most versatile machine to own but still a fun piece. If our Gator ever gives up I would like a Mule. But so far the Gator is +10 years has over 1,800 hours on it and still has the original battery. I have only had to replac the rack and pinion boots because I hooked them on some brush. The compact Gator only runs about 18 MPH but that is fine for 8 acres and I think I could buy three of them for the cost of a Mule. Wife likes it just fine and it is nice to sit side by side and ride around. Now the older grand-kids are learing to drive on it. So it has paid off in many ways and done a lot of work.

Still  out.

Good evening all,

A great day at the historical society.  The trains were a big hit.  Seeing the eyes of the kids light up when they saw the trains was worth every minute we spent there.  Watched "Christine" tonight when we got home.  Good movie.  I hope everyone has a good day.

Keep on training,

Mike C. from Indiana
