greetings,

I just buried my "Bob Villa" sears Craftsman 42" Intec Brig-Strat twin after 10 years of "non-maintained" summer service and it blew a hole in the block you could throw a cat through !

Getting ready to pull the trigger on a brand New Cub cadet XT2 46" w/ Kawasaki which I PROMISE to maintain but i am still researching Comparable tractors.

I also have a yearning to restore a Ford LGT 60's- 70's vintage on my BUCKET LIST ! maybe next year... Right now I am into restoring WWII south Bend and Logan metal lathes " Oldetimemachines.com"
Will advise !

Welcome. The metal lathes idea sounds profitable.

Profitable ???? depends on what you call profitable...when all is said and done and a unit I rebuilt gets sold I "Clear" something like $6-$10 dollars an hour for my time. but it's truly a hobby and it keeps me off the streets.
at 73 I'm just glad to be able to do something productive ..... and I Love it !
Joe

Welcome to TBN Joe. Hey Joe, I think that I have one of those old Craftsman and it is still running. You probably put more hours on yours.
"at 73 I'm just glad to be able to do something productive..." Are you trying to sound old? We aren't old, just experienced.:drink:
