4shorts--what great photos and what a youthful guy you were. The ladies must have been all over you back then, especially when you offered them a ride in your wheel loader. What a charmer.

Any more photos of the completed tractor?

Ha. I was married back them too so I had to be a good boy lol. They are the only photos of the tractor but back then I had another hobby. I used to restore and modify military Jeeps. M38A1's. When I would get them completed a guy would come down from Nova Scotia and buy them up. Oh they were the days :dance1:

And when did Kubota start making vacuums? That sucks!!!!!

It blows too : :laughing:

Photobucket keeps dropping my BX photo

And your BX is spotless clean too! I'm embarrassed to show mine close up at the moment.

Oh don't worry. It took some elbow grease to get it that way I guess that's the last job I'll ask of it for this year. 65 hours on the clock and it's tucked in with the battery tender on it for its long winters nap. Wifey figures it's the best thing we ever bought.

Reminds me of CB Radio days.

Reminds me of CB Radio days.

Oh man. CB radio's. Remember talking "Skip" ? We use to exchange skip cards when we'd talk to other CBers from far away. Those where the days. I lived up north back then and we would get the northern lights dancing in the cold winter night sky's and could talk all over the world. My handle back then was "Diesel Weasel" :laughing:
Oh the memories

I've got a section of the wall dedicated to those cards I collected in the 70's... never took them down.

HAHA the man from "Newfoundland" says when he used to live up "north". Thats a good one Paul but your not exactly living in the tropics.lol

This is the first I recall hearing about the jeeps, guess you didn't keep one for your coca cola room?

Did you ever see the video about the guys who strip and reassemble a jeep in under three minutes?

Oh yes. It was considered up North. It was in Labrador at the time. It got really coooold. :shocked: It got down to -40C most of the winter. Going to work felt like you had square tires on the vehicle because they were frozen. Have a look at the map. To put it in perspective I'm living close to St.John's now. Have a look where Labrador is on the map. I'll see if I can dig up some old photo's of the Jeeps I've restored.
