Tore it down to only trans and axles, removed axles and instaled new bearings and seals, new seals in trans and PTO, wire brushed trans housing and axles. Sandblasted from there forward, took everything off and did piece at a time. Complete overhaul of engine, with new clutch etc. Just like new except for a little custom work. Grand-daughter is 3 yr old and likes to ride as does my wife. Started it back in March, got sidetracked with hernia surg and back on line in May. My first complete rebuild and can see where I can improve a lot. [Reply]   [No Email]

Maybe set up some earphones in a floppy farmer's hat so he/she can sing. That should get you on TV. Advanced training would have the dog mounting and dismounting while underway. Kinda like circus dogs and horses. You could reposition the muffler and he could take a break by riding on the hood. Lots of possibilities here. How's about the dog seeming to push the tractor with his rear paws on the ground and front paws on the drawbar? [Reply]  [No Email]

I would then make a foot rest that would cover them when the rider was not the driver, and folded flat when it was. Jim [Reply]  [No Email]

They can steer but I control the giddy-up and whoa. [Reply]  [No Email]
