It slightly resembles some of it's kin, but was an adopted brother from a far away land (Kansas)
He needs a some components, and I have little confidence in the (replacement) engine, but we'll make something of it down the line. Deck is in great shape, and the rear AG's are new. It came with the dozer hitch too, and the PO is looking for the bronze blade.
Anyone seen one before? I found one archived pic from a decade ago, but that's it. |

Is this one of those swivel hip models that pivots in the center? I have yet to see one in person.
Neat little tractors.

Gee, I was expecting something totally different from that title!
I have seen one, I thought hard about buying it but bought another instead. I do like that color.
Since you said "our" does that meen the better half is coming around to the value and virtue of this fine hobby? |

Im trying to make this one hers....it's not taking well, but I'm embracing the idea.
Chris, yes, this is a Wards version of the early Broadmoor. I had never seen one until this, and after searching exhaustively, found only one picture online of another. I want to find that again to see if it's the same maxhine (telltale markings, paint, etc) |

That's the B-10 I picked up a while back. Both of them are on the wait list. The B-10 is in great shape but does not run. i have a 16 to drop in that some day. My mind is not made up on the '6'. I'm thinking it needs to retain it's original finish. It will probably clean up nice, but the hood needs some attention.
Interestingly, the front tires are solid, not pneumatic. Were those ever used on the small frames? The other picture I found of a Squire 6 shows the diamond tread pattern like that found on the Broadmoors. |

| To me all four tires look small. I have not run across any broadmoors with solid tires. The one I looked at was I believe a seven after thinking about it, it had all air tires. The young fellow that had it is a member on the other channel, I think his first name is Reagan. |

| Josh, I envision Dad and his 1st born parading around on your Squire 9 and the child on the new "mini me" someday! |

| Interesting. I like the Garden Mark paint scheme and thought I might make my Broadmoor into a mini version of the bigger Mark you're working on now. Little did I know that they actually made one. |

| Very interesting Josh. I had no idea they made a MW version. Dave |
Money can't buy you happiness.
It can however buy you a beer.
And that is close enough.

My plan was to wrap up the current wave of projects before the heat of summer....perhaps cleaning up and getting the little bugger running this fall before November 12 would make it a nice baby shower gift? (Can you get yourself a baby shower gift?) 
It's missing quite a bit, but it seems Broadmoor parts are frequently on ebay and elsewhere, so I'm not too concerned about putting it together when time allows. Right now it's tucked away in the nursery pole barn.  |

| Cvan, I bet that swivel frame is rough on the lower back. Squire, I don't think we are in Kansas anymore! |

Wait. Didn't you just sell some Broadmoor parts? |

| Yes! I did...kickin myself now. That's the way it goes. I sold a mint front bumper with the mule drive, which I now need, and I sold my HiLo, which would be neat to have. The only pieces I still have are the ones that came with this one...the dozer hitch and a mower deck. Whadayado.... |
