Looking good there Dr.Bailey. I have one question that doesn't pertain to your tractor so I hope you don't mind, what is that hanging on the wall in this picture? It kind of looks like a floor creeper but I don't see how one would fit in between those knobs!

My youngest daughter got me that for my birthday several years ago. Its call the Dog Bone, it is a creeper, it has 3.5 inch wheels for rough use, that why it is so deep. It is very comfortable but its a real chalenge to get out of. seems to get rougher every year.your not the first one to ask about it. I really prefer to use a large sheet of cardboard.

Awsome mods- those different rear fenders set it off nicely.
I agree with using cardbord - alot easier to slide around on - when i have to lean over a tractor, i use a couple old plastic chairs and a craftsman roller stool my wife got me at Christmas.

Things went pretty good today, a relaxing day. Next week I will get the fenders done and painted, hopefully the mower deck will fit back under there. If not I will find a finish mower to tow behind.

That red really sets it off , with the chrome painted wheels - you almost wouldnt know it was a late model craftsman instead of a rare mini 8n. Nice work.

Don't know how I've not been keeping up with this thread/build. Thanks Dr for a couple replies directed to me. Post #11 looks like the Bolens version.
What are you starting off with for the fenders?

The butter fly fenders are off a BF Avery that I have . Hated to use them but I doubt if I ever rebuild it. the motor is locked up , the tranny is granaded, just over all bad shape.

Awesome work! Plan to enter it in any tractor shows? I bet it would be a real hit there.

here are some pics at differant stages. I put a hydraulic pump on it , I have a mold board, cultivator and a front snow blade for it.
I have been wanting to get it out side for some pics and post it in the pic contest. Maybe I can do that tomorrow.
