njirqs,
Looks like the L1500 ready for another decade of work...darn good shape.

Okay kinda of a dumb question Why is the chain thru the steering wheel?
I never seen a tie down before in that form.

Hey! Lets get those wheels reversed and widen out that wheel base! My goodness, you'd think you guys had nothing but flat ground down there!
P.S.- I always claimed it was an L175!!! At least the tractor said so!<P ID="edit"><FONT SIZE=-1>Edited by scruffy on 12/13/00 09:06 PM.</FONT></P>

Look at the rims on my old tractor (pic attached), and you will see what I meant.

Oops! Tried to post one that my wife had saved as a bmp file. Try this.

The chain was to lift it up onto the truck !

Worked a treat !!

Yes it is a little ripper !

I had heard about reversing the wheels. Doesn't it make it kinda like a tricyle ??

Worth doing ?

 

[scruffy]

All it does is widen your wheel base, making it a little more stable on hill sides etc. How would you make it like a tricycle? You would be reversing both front AND rear wheels.

scruffy; what have you got in that bucket??? that front tire sure looks like its got a load..good picture..
heehaw

 

[scruffy]

Nothing, the tire was setting on the edge of the concrete or actually blacktop...whichever it was (I'd have to look at the pic to remember). I remember it being half on, half off anyway. I saw the same thing when I downloaded the pic from the camera, and went out and checked the air pressure to be sure. Sure does look low though.

 

[njrqs]

Didn't realise you reversed both sets of wheels. Might give it a go one day.

I kinda like people saying it looks like an overgrown rideon !!!

Cheers
