Wow Pirelli has some copyright infringement issues -- those look EXACTLY like the Mud Lite. :o You'll never get stuck though, no matter what brand they are. 8-)

Me & my buddy went out shoppin this week-end--the kinda stuff we bring home


Those AC and Simplicities from that era were golden too. One attachment you may be interested in was a periscope that were fitted to tractors in upper NYS mowing in May. I desperately need to mow but there is no lever on my WH that operates a down bubble command and I forgot to get the torpedo tubes operational.

if the fuel is affordable....
.the implication being that I am behind with my mowing. The REAL depressing thing is that I was mowing the cr ap out of everything up until two days ago. Things usually get moving quickly here in the NE springbut this year the growth rate is incredible, it's like Hollywood horror movie. I recycle the horse manure, lime, turn over many times and wait for 5 year and then spread. Great for the environment but man oh man forget that miracle grow ad, you have to see how the grass grows this time of year. A week of constant rain is a disaster - and then sunny and 85F. Gulp.

horses are real happy


Put a little vaseline on the bellies and that way they won't get scratched as they waddle through the pasture.

Anyone have an old bolens?
My father-in law has one that is a tube frame, 8hp wisconsin. It has a snow blower, mower deck and rototiller and a new generator(I think that is what they call the altenator) He wants to sell it for $300. I was riding it around a couple days ago.
He has a couple old wheel horses he won't part with also. His grand kids like to ride/race them around the yard.
