60's Springfeild Mini Speed Tractor

Paint!!!!

700 HP lettering on the hood? Or maybe on the sides of the hood, Springfield RLM Edition. But it's gotta be gold metal flake letters...

sooo... let's De-Dust this build

So many projects, so little money! Lol, selling mower parts on the side is working out good, so i should have a hundo or so laying around on the side in spring/winter. MTD shouldnt take to long to rebuild... One step at a time.

True that.

DUN DUN DUN.....

I sold it! Yep, price was right and i pretty much wiped my hands free of everything it costed to build this. Hopefully the new owner enjoys finishing this. I ran out of motivation and didnt really have a plan on finishing it, on to the next project. I bought two motorcycles, a yamaha 1980 XT250 and a 1979 DT175 that need parts so this was a win win deal for me and the new owner.



Pictures of bikes, just cuz.

I think you did the right thing red... Especially since you didn't have motivation to finish it... Can't wait to see what those motorcycles turn in to...

I don't see a seat in that picture, you turn it into a shop stool or what?

I gave it to the guy too, and some parts and junk. The stuff was like wall art from collecting dust, look at the hood lol.

Such disappoint.

Sell me a bike.

Yeah well, I told you you should just hang it from the ceiling, on an angle, in a corner, instead of selling it... But no.... Oh well, more room in the shop.

F*ckn WHAT!??!

It's true! Move it down the line

Hey look what I found when I was driving down the road... Guy you sold it to must have had his tailgate loose or something.



I happened to have a couple of scales on hand and decided I would weigh this thing. Without the battery, I get about 152 lbs on the front axle and 100 lbs at the rear axle. Keep in mind that my scales could be off by 5-6 lbs. Total weight with an estimated 20 lb battery, 272 lbs. With the 21.5 hp engine, that's 12.65 lbs per HP. Or 18.69 lbs per HP with my 130 lbs sitting on it. Not too bad I guess.
