I agree, but my wife says what I NEED is my HEAD examined. Girls... oh wait I already burnt that bridge.I like the idea of a museum,the way he's going,going to need a big bldg
I've let a few go, large frames are my favorites, and I sold two to friends I wish I'd kept, (tractor's that is friends are keepers as well) and two tf's that I don't know why... buyers remorse? No idea.. sellers remorse ya I've had that.
We lost our master carpenter in '05 our house you see the front of in the second pic , he and I built in '96 he took 8 months off work to build it, he worked thru the week on it , and we'd gang up on it on the weekends. Today was his birthday he'd of been 79, we miss him, HAPPY BIRTHDAY Jack.
He was my father-in-law and has mentioned here before my Bolens mentor, even at 79 bet we'd of built one hell of a "museum".
Thanks guys

Front axle spindle ends were wore past any help from new bushings so a very nice used one will take its place. PTO shaft showed the ill effects of spun bearings so a NOS one was machined down on the front end and keyway cut to accept a lovejoy coupler to a new Prince hydraulic pump. A rebuilt OEM power steering unit will be installed and it's getting new Carlisle 8 ply's on all four corners, it is my hope to have these pieces primed,painted and installed this long weekend.
