Where I've been and what I'm up to.

Now, I haven't gotten any new wheel horses (maybe), but I've finished up restoring the wheel horse. Just need to paint the attachments and do touch ups on the tractor. I have a cub cadet with a loader on it that I think I will be doing a "half" restore. Not take it apart just take the engine off, the electrical, seat and hood, paint the areas that you see and clean up the bottom. And I'll have to see if I can get another 16 hp kohler for this one too. I might be starting work on it next week. But I got a part time job for a family friend as a mechanic/maintenance worker working on dental equipment (for making crowns) and just started on Saturday.

I also got a Ford Ranger for my first truck as I am turning 16 in April. And that took all day Friday. So thats why I haven't been on for awhile.

Congrats!

Where's the pics though?

Hey that first ride take presidents over just about everything.

Thanks Blue and GT. Don't worry Blue, we will have a "photo shoot" on Friday, I don't have school.

Congrats on the job and truck Justin!

:dance3 Hey Justin, congratulations on getting your tractor together, the employment, and the Ford Ranger. I have owned several Rangers and Bronco II's over the years, and have enjoyed them all. First was a 1983, then an '85, '88 and all the way up to a 1998 model year before I had to graduate to the four door Explorer when the kiddo's were too big to ride in the Ranger. I still have my 1983 model, and will likely keep it around for many years. Enjoy, and stay safe out and about. There are some really chaotic drivers in this country!

Congrats Justin!

I remember when I got my first car. 1986 Ford Taurus. It was real fast for about 2 miles. Then smoke would roll out. Let er' cool down and give er' hell for another 2 miles. Please don't do that to your vehicle Justin. I had to by a new one with the minimal money I was making when I was 16.

That's great and good luck....and be careful out there driving....and remember the life you save maybe mine....or something like that. :cool
