The working tractors... 06 Craftsman , 75 Sears ST/16 "Grandpa", 77 Sears Hydro "Thor", 84 R70 John Deere
Thor did not see any action this year unfortunately.
The toy tractors... 82 Murray GT "Kal", 89 Craftsman GT18 "The Green Machine", 89 Murray Widebody "Li'l Red", 2001 Murray Widebody LT "Bowser"
Kal and Red had another successful trip to Haspin Acres this year. Red did take a tumble but got back up and continued to trail. New entries are The Green Machine (rebuild of older build) and Bowser, the build for my daughter. I need to fix some wiring issues on Bowser.
Future plans:
Bowser: Should a single cylinder OHV drop in my lap I will repower it with that engine.
Red: Repower with OHV V-twin. Fix the clutch. It still has the same 6yr old clutch from with I first built the tractor.
The Green Machine: Still in build phase, still making a gas petal for it.
Kal: Regretfully, even though I have had a blast with Kal. The frame is fatigued and it is hard to work on. I plan for a Kal Retirement...
Other rigs... I still have the 9N and the purple people eater mower. But nothing to report there.

Nice looking clan Mighty, I should do one of these for my collection!
LOL, you'll need a panoramic shot for that!
New rig to the collection that I mentioned yesterday. I forgot to get the model# but I believe it is a mid 90's Craftstman HDGT 18hp Kohler Magnum that appears to have good compression. Oil inside looks good, not gassy. I was going to try to start it today (it is at my parents currently), but the starter would not enguage. I didn't have time today to tear down, but I think the starter is salvagable. Spun good. I bet it just needs cleaned up.
Other than the starter maintenance, missing grill, couple flat tires, it appears to be in decent condition. It has some rust, but that is nothing.
Future plan?
Right now, I am thinking clean it up and mow!
