    I can't get past the front axle that looks like its just floating under the frame. I've never seen one like that. The pivot is usually directly over the axle in any tractors I've seen / owned. Plus the axle is at the front of the tractors. Interesting...

    Geeze Gasifier the way you go through tractors, I'm wondering if your wife is getting a little bit nervous??

    Congrats!

    There's been a number of tractors built like that over the years...MiniMo did one (more?) IIRC

    Nervous? She isn’t crazy about it. But, I get the work done around here that we need to get done. And a bunch that we just want to get done. And, if I make a little profit from the buying and selling it helps to pay the bills. I always get the bills paid.

    I don’t know. ? I guess I should just settle on an inexpensive Kubota and just keep it. Tough decision. Sometimes I lose a little. Sometimes I make a little. BUT. I always get a bunch of work done with them. Kinda use them as a savings account too. Pay a little extra down, extra on monthly payment. Then when I sell them I have equity. Then use equity to pay unexpected bills that came up. (Children are expensive!:rofl: :lol:) Or pay down something else. Seems to work. Kinda fun sometimes. Kind of a P.I.A. sometimes. :sherlock:

    I was hinting at her being nervous because of your example of getting rid of a working tractor just may get rid of other still working things....like a marriage! :whistle:
