Any Psychiatrists on here? - Page 3

This seems even more psychotic, but this last one I picked up is 'too nice'. Belongs in a collection of someones.

That way I wont worry about my kids running it into a tree. Or if it sits outside and gets wet due to other projects taking the storage space. Or whether the series I engine will take the hills.

And just as importantly, I realized that having a perfectly intact tractor isnt that much 'fun'. Fun to use, but lost the satisfaction of turning wrenches and painting, which I now realize is part of what I am after. Not enough of a 'project'....

I will sleep on it a few more days, but think I will just resell this one to raise some $$ to cover the other projects.

And that parts tractor is a 1450 and will simply be passed along. And a 1650 parts tractor sold over the weekend. So by the definitions given here, that will put me down to 3. I can get from 3 to 2. Maybe. Although the fewer they are the harder the decisions...

Nice.

I dont have the $300. Maybe we can barter. How about a couple front rims and an old hydro rear end....

Does it count as a problem if this is only half the fleet?

I'm not a psychiatrist, but it did play one at home and think I have a knack.

Can you start by telling us about your childhood?

"Run and Drive" is defined as: Starts and runs with a key or possibly jumping the solenoid. Must have a throttle cable, although does not necessarily need to have the choke cable hooked up (but only if the choke lever can be reached from the drivers seat). Enough tires must hold air to "limp" it to the nearest air hose from where it normally resides without "breaking the bead" (although this is not preferred). Gas tank, fuel line and carburetor must not leak (although the "shut off" can drip a little while it is being turned). Lift levers, hydraulic lifts or electric lifts must be in working order. PTO's must be operational, UNLESS unit was not so equipped from the factory, ie Originals, OR if the tractor is designated as as a working unit with an attachment that does NOT require a pto (for instance, a designated blade tractor). All others are considered to be "Projects", "possible project tractors" or "parts tractors" until such time as they have been robbed of enough parts that they can no longer roll or otherwise be towed from one end. Then they are considered "just parts".
