    Intimidating is when the '60 Minutes Van' pulls up at your house! Everything else seems pretty exciting, at your place. ;)

    We have a few half-way houses around here, unfortunately, so we see all kinds of ambulances all day and all night 24/7. Folks over-dosing or not taking the right medication, or injured. Not exciting. I like yours better. :)

    No. Just a toy for the kids to drive or to pull a trailer with all the neighborhood kids in it. I have no deck for it. I have a newer Craftsman I use. Here are some exhaust pics. I went the easy way. To much fabrication and time to run them out the rear. I went with dual stacks!!! We like it.

    Melting Snow!!!! I'm jealous! We've got snow until Mid-April and sometimes until late May.

    Frost stays in until mid-June! Bah humbug! :(

    Nice tractor, not too intimidating... :D :biglaugh:

    Our DEEP SOUTH, like 75 miles further south is usually about 3 or 4 centigrade warmer, and some pioneer with a rude sense of humor named one town Miami. So we have a Miami, Manitoba. :biglaugh: That's as close as they get to a warm, fuzzy feeling. When those Colorado Lows come up, they get it first! :evilsmile: And when that Arctic wind comes down from West Alaska, they get it right down through to South Dakota. No mercy.

    GOT IT!!!! Pulled the fuel pump and it was plugged solid. Cleaned it out and that was it. Runs really good. My son came home from school and took it for his first spin.

It was 52 degrees.....Now (3 am) is is 5 below with 35 below windchill..........I know to you guys up north this is almost your spring temps.....LOL.....:lolup:

    Prolly really easy to regear if you wanted to. I've got a few newer craftsmans with belt driven transaxles those are as tough as swapping a pulley and getting a shorter belt.
