Yep, very nice tractor! But, are you teasing us? ONLY one pic? We need more pics!
Thank you, and here you go. The whole idea behind this tread was to see other similar tractors not mine. :watch_over_fence:

Thanks for adding more great photographs after that initial teaser. It sure looks great. What implements do you use with it?

Here's the MF1650 I used to have. I restored it for my nephew, aka member "baumbaum". I did change the color scheme a bit.

Here is my 1450 as I use it now. It has a MF510 deck on it. It cuts my grass.

It was my first restoration, so I played dress up with it a bit. Different shoes

and bling.

Also, I used it for a while, as a refreshment buggy. :beer:

This is my MF1650. It's the work horse. Since this pic, Wheel Tire Vehicle Automotive tire Motor vehicle


I've put some 26" AGs on it. Tire Wheel Automotive tire Motor vehicle Synthetic rubber
and

weights.

It plows and snowblows, and moves things around with the 3pt hitch. I've done some box blading

with it, and dragging a snowmobile trail groomer around in the summer, to rip roots

out of the trails. I've also had a spike tooth harrow behind it a few times, to scuff up the gravel

yard. I don't think I'll ever part with this one.

Oh yeah, I added this brace, to stiffen up the steering column. I like to pull my butt off the seat,

using my hands on the wheel. Motor vehicle Bumper Hood Wood Automotive exterior

Whoa! Your grille guard scares me, lol. Wish I would have talked to you before I bought my tires. Interesting steering wheel. Both nice tractors. Thanks.

By the way, I used your nephews tractor to "inspire" me when I was restoring mine. I know it's not stock colors but very nicely done!

Here's my 1855 I bought a year ago that ended up having a laundry list of problems. I pulled motor in fall to repair mounts, driveshaft, etc and then pushed in back corner where it still sits. Just had too much going on this summer to even look at it.

Great idea!! The column on my 1855 is pretty loose, for that exact reason. I think I'm going to copy this.

Glass like finish. Impressive. Where did you pick up the center cap emblem on your steering wheel? Don't suppose you kept the snow blade when you traded?
Thanks!! The center emblem was on it when I got the tractor...not sure where it came from? I wish I would've kept the snow blade and sold it to someone who would really appreciate it. Unfortunately, I let it go in the trade.

The guy I traded the MF 1650 to just listed it for sale though. He's a wheeler-and-dealer kind of guy, so I'm sure you could work something out with him. The only downside, is he's in Delaware... http://delaware.craigslist.org/bar/3923580224.html

Also, maybe you could check with this guy, and see if he'd part with the blade. It's not terribly far from you, and his price for the whole package is really good! http://cincinnati.craigslist.org/grd/3882213903.html

Thanks, I know of one within 15 miles just haven't had the cash or the time to ask her.

^^^ That's one of my favorite 1855s ever. Did you stack two sets of wheel weights on the rears? Any chance you have a part number or a source for these?
