Old deere, still working...

I have a Kawasaki TransMule that I bought new in 2011 with the water cooled engine, power steering, hydraulic dump and factory sun shade. My mom drives it around more then anybody, and she has never before wanted to drive or play in the dirt. At 74, she isn't one to try new things, but she fell in love with how easy it is to operate and get around the land. She gets the mail every day, empties the bed when it's full of trash for the burn pile, gathers sticks from around the land to start the burn piles and just puts around on it. Just seeing her have fun on it, makes it worth having!!!!

Bought this Ranger last week. Spent the whole week refurbishing it and getting it ready for work. This is its first chore. The second chore was rounding up all the birdhouses along the bird trail that runs around the property to get them ready for the new year.

Thanks! It looks even better when it's not in the middle of a drought. :thumbsup:

Now my wife can't complain about having to carry the bee hives all over the place. If she's lucky, I'll buy her a bee suit for Christmas because I'm getting tired of listening to her whining about the bee stings. :laughing:

Bee careful......I'm pretty sure Lorena Bobbitt's husband also tried forcing her to perform various chores around the house.....don't want you to have to change your name to "troutless squeezer".....

Wow! Do you put the engine in an atv chassis? That's quite a squeeze

Yes, I basically cut the ATV in half, and install the engine. The engine is part of the structural integrity of the chassis. Here's a few more video's

Here's my 1989 Terrapro I just finished restoring.

View attachment 359664

This is what it looked like when I picked it up in west Tennessee. It would start with fluid but not stay running. Needed brake work, fronts didn't work. Finish was badly faded. Operations and caution decals missing or damaged. Mechanically it was all there but needed desperate TLC to be ride able. This ATV is as far as I can find the only ATV with a PTO in the back to run implements. I got a FM-48 finish mower with it. It needs a belt and a total makeover. I'm currently duplicating all the decals before I put fresh paint on it.

This is the FM-48 finish mower. It is of a two point hitch design.

I stripped it down to check and repair any wiring problems and also have access to repair several issues.

View attachment 359668

As you can see the finish was badly faded.

I had some left over upholstery from a hotrod project. The seat had two large holes. I decided to recover the seat in grey.

After refinishing all the plastic new decals where applied.

The finished product. It turned out great.

I found this one on Craigslist about 100 miles from where I found the first one. Both came from the same dealer in Mississippi.

View attachment 359691

A bonus was the two attachments I got with it. The RC-42 brush cutter seen behind the ATV and a very rare TC-38 garden tiller. They are next on my restore list.

Thanks for looking.

Very nice work! How did you restore the plastics?

Pardone... Wrong quote.

I did about five stages of sanding. Then I shot it with a flexible clear coat similar to whats used on auto bumpers. I'm going to do the second one the same way except no bullet holes in the back.

I chose a Yamaha FZ1 engine. It's almost identical to an R1, except the crankshaft is heavier, so it has more torque.
