There are a lot of very good examples in this forum- I suggest you do some window shopping for ideas!

Meantime- what you do to yours is a function of budget, resources, tools, and skills. A good start would be some better tires, locking the differential, and such.

Be sure to post up some pics of your machine!

Speaking of which (getting machines, and our weather comments in your intro thread)- I had a guy contact me recently, offering up a tractor that he's got in his barn- BUT I can't have it until the dang ice melts enough for him to get the door open! How frustrating is that??? His memory is a little dusty, but he seems to think it might be an International. Tease. LOL

Thanks for the help and do you call your tractor the mule? I've seen a video on YouTube and I was wondering if it was yours?

Yessir. MULE is my '89 Lawn Boy LT12, and MULEII (which I have just started) is my 1970 John Deere 112. In fact- right now you'll find MULEII playing dead on the cover banner of the forum right now... LOL
