Hi; Thank you very much for letting me join TractorByNet. I sure I will learn a lot from the forums about tractors. Please let me know if I'm wrong about something and I will learn more as I go. I,m old as dirt, have all my hair and have 7 teeth, but I can still learn. I like all kinds of tractors big and small. I have some MTD,Gravely,John Deere,Cub Cadet,New Holland,Sears,Troy Bilt models. I know that some cubs, troy bilt, and a whole lot more are made by MTD. I like to make my tractors look a little different from stock, so I am not a purist but, I do want my tractors to look strong, tough and cool. Respectfully Yours; Fluid
