tractor rides

Went to my neice's house for her son's 3rd birthday party last Saturday. Cake and ice cream is always good but tractor rides are better!

It was a beautiful day, sunny and no wind. Spring is finally here. I had asked about a problem in the past with my B Farmall missing under load. It was recommended I change the plugs out with Autolite 3116's. I had Champion plugs in it, she fired right up but after a short spin it was evident the motor was still missing under load. I swapped the plugs and it was like night and day. Ran purr-fectly!

So it was time for everyone to go for a tractor ride. My wife did the picture taking. Tractors make everyone smile!

My son Ryan got the first trip down the road.





The birthday boy Ethan and his father Travis taking a turn.



The youngest boy Elliot got to sit on the seat with Dad but didn't go anywhere. That was good enough for him.



My oldest neice Kassandra was there also. She hadn't completely forgotten how to drive something with a clutch but had to be reminded, LOL.




We about wore out the circle drive but it was fun. Looks like I have a little leak on the oil pan. I didn't want to tighten it up too much but I guess it needs a little more. Fun to get the B out and everyone enjoyed the day!

Looks like a great time was had by all, but come on man, you live closer to KC than St. Louis... should have on Royal's blue. :lol:

looks like fun, now you need to get her a tractor to ride side by side, then one for the kids when it"s time,,,lol

Mat, here is a pic of my "B" set up for fun rides with my "Honey". I call it my "Honey Bee"
Set up so both steering wheels work, left side has floor board and pedals, pedals are not hooked up. Gets lots of comments!!!!

Sorry guys, I don't watch much of the Triple A ball coming out of KC! No really, my wife's family is from St. Louis so I've aquired a taste for the Cards.

The B isn't our only project, we scooped up an H from the woods and are in the process of getting that one running. Just have to swap a motor and we'll see what we have. Now that it is warm again, we'll get to work and maybe have another tractor to putt around on.

I mentioned to my wife I need to find another platform and seat for the B for another rider. She agreed so I guess that's a green light to spend a few $$ right?

Mo, nice looking B. Bet she really enjoys driving it! Hopefully by the end of the summer we'll have ours with a new paint job also.
