restoring old garden tractors..a J.Deere...

[mamita]

it's my hub's hobby, but every one he has also has a job to do. except one...an early Sears Suburban that he restored. she only comes out on the occasional Sunday to get shined up. lol we have one that is beefy..can't remember the name (don't tell hub!) that has chains and hauls logs out of the woods for splitting. this one will cut grass one day. (altho we have one that already does that, guess this will be the 'Sunday' one) anyway..this is what he found, and he would have liked it to be older, but those Deere's are pricey for restoration. I'll post what it presently looks like in 'reply'...it's stripped nekid, and he's working on the complete restore. she runs GREAT!

what it looks like now...and if hubs knew I posted his pic on the internet, he'd not be thrilled. (our secret!) even if he is so adorable....lol


he is having a grand ole time out in the garage. (no work again...gotta have man toys!)
