Thought i would share pics of a 1974 MF8 i restored last winter. It was my first restore and i really liked it. I bought it from a boy i went to school with for $200. I had a good deck with it and all the tractor was there but the console pieces. I found the missing pieces on ebay and when i got them i started tearing it down. It was a factory electric start but somebody had replaced the original engine with an 8hp briggs pull start that ran and started easy. I do alot of buying and selling and tradding so i didnt really wanna keep it to long so i put it on criagslist for $600 never dreaming id get that. To my supprise i sold it for $600 a few weeks later!
Heres a few pics

Congrats on getting your asking price, it's a nice looking machine.
Those usually don't go that high, the buyer must've been very impressed with your work.

Thanks for the ride-along pics

Thanks. The buyer said he had looked along time for one of these and never could find one. He wanted it to use in his garden.

Nice job on the 8 HotRod. I have one I'm restoring but I haven't had time to get it finished. They have a nice tight turning radius and are a sturdy little tractor.

Nice job there. So, what's the next project going to be?

Very nice work. I like that muffler you got on it.

As far as another project i havent really found it yet lol. And i thought the muffler was cool to even tho there wasent much muffler to it. Somebody took a piece of pipe and stuck another smaller piece of pipe inside of it and welded it to look like a muffler. It sounded pretty good on there and gave it that little tractor look.
