Ok, it's hardly a "tractor" but it does do some work for me and pulls a little trailer. I got an old Ariens YT1138 with no mower deck and got it running for my son to cruise around on (he's 9).
This summer as a project for he and I to do, we stripped down the hood and rear fender and painted it all up. Here's some pictures.
And the completed tractor, still needs the frame and wheels painted but we can do that when he's here next summer.
It has a bit of an identity crisis.........Ariens tractor, originally some sort of orange/red, now Ford Blue with flames of Allis Chalmers orange and JD Yellow with the old seat from my JD lawn tractor. The paint was rattle cans of tractor paint from Menards, I think it was a Rustoleum product. Came out looking good!
