| I just noticed that you have an ancient bolt together deck. They are extremely heavy and built like a tank. ! |

 Well Larry. 'bout time a yellow one followed you home. Nice score. Lots of parts and attachments too!! If you don't have a use for the sickle mower PM me as I have been looking for one for awhile. Great find.  Dave. |
Money can't buy you happiness.
It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.

Beleive it or not, this Big 10 is the first AC garden tractor I've seen in person. Loved the B series seat design since the first picture I saw though. Simplicity, especially their walk behind snowblowers are everywhere around here, and I grew up with Simplicity and have run them my entire life. I used to think rollers were standard mower deck design...
Even he AG equipment around here lacks AC, the names I see all the time are Ford, New Holland, Massey, and Deere. I saw a small Massey Furgusen 4 wheel drive "retro" farm tractor recently modeled to look like the old Ford 9N/Golden Jubilee... I want one! (I'm sure I wouldn't want to PAY for it though.) |

It is much the same here in LA. There were only a handful of AC dealers scattered across the state. There were less than twenty in my dad's entire block that included north Louisiana, southern Arkansas and north western Mississippi. A flash of rusty orange in the field will definitely turn my head. |

| Was that retro massey actually the new Ford 8N Boomer? it's the retro model 8n ford has out, I didn't know Massey had a retro model out, but I'd have say it would have to be their model 35 or 135. |
