Lets see.... Two days : Took tractor apart and repaired shifter, put back together. Repainted all the white and most of the yellow. Made a custom grill.
Tomorrow I will replace the mower deck belt, sharpen the blades and remount to mower.
Being retired I need projects like this to keep me busy.
I will give the 1650 that was given to me a couple of years ago a close look and maybe do the same to it. It is all there including the side panels.
This 124 will be going to my summer place on the water to do the mowing chores. I will first drive it to my neighbor from whom I bought it from. He had it sitting in the woods behind his house. He got it from his dad (who bought it new) and used it until the shifter broke sever years ago. You could still shift it if you held the shifter to kept it from rotating. I think he will be quite surprised as my son is. My son was questioning my messing with a 44 year old piece of junk (his words). Now he says it don't look that "old" after all. Kids these days don't appreciate things from "back in the day" or the quality that was put into them.
