One of the reasons it was all rotted was at some point someone had filled it with dirt. I used the blade to smooth out the dirt and the real wheels to compact it down. Turned out quite nicely.
I love getting to play with my tractor.

Looks like you had fun! Nice useage of the blade too!

Took me a while to get it dialed in right, but finally did. Went to start it up and nothing  I finally figured out it had no gas in it  . Filled it up and got ready to start it and low n behold gas was pouring out of the carb  . Just rebuilt carb and has been fine since rebuild(couple week's ago). After taking it apart for the 3rd time I figured out it was the brass float, took it off and shook it, was filled with gas  . Stole the float off a k161 and now she's good to go!! Also threw the 6.5's on the 71 and I like the look. Video to come shortly of 147 & rear blade  |
Shop's looking great Jude!

Great action pics Jeff! Looks like you was having to much fun! I can't keep from grinning when I'm on my cubs too!
