The Old Tractor.
It's a red Wizard with a Briggs and Stratton engine, bought by hubby and me in 1989. We lived on a farm in Missouri. Hubby was stationed there. We rented a 19 acre farm. All the grass cutting and farming activities made it necessary to get one. When we moved to Korea the tractor went to Mom and Dads. They used it to cut the grass and do various lawn work. That is where it is to this day. It was not working , thought it had passed on to... Tractor heaven..Not so! We managed to shock it back to life using the cars' Life source. Today it will start it new life working for Dad's Yard.

It doesn't look so old! Hope it will serve you well. A beautiful shade of red for a Ruby Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteLong life to this newly repaired tractor!
ReplyDeleteSave the tractor - it has been faithful in doing his duties! I had a neibor who used to let me ride on one like that before I got my licence - so I can learn how to steer :)
ReplyDeleteDoesn't look old maybe it's just tired! Thanks for stopping by my blog.
ReplyDeleteThat looks a lot like the ride on mower we used to have...seems like it was someone elses life time ago. Thanks for the memories. :))
ReplyDeleteGlad it didn't die yet. Looks like it can be of some more use. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteIt looks very handy and I would like to drive it. I have never driven a lawnmover and I would like to try.
ReplyDeleteThere's something about a tractor that makes me smile. A red one even more...great RT idea.
ReplyDeleteOh it takes MANY more years than THAT to kill a good tractor! Hope Dad enjoys lots of riding time!
ReplyDeleteWhen my brother bought this house in Chesapeake and I moved in with my parents, I was wishing for one of these...
ReplyDeleteThanks for stopping by my Ruby Tuesday.
Tractor heaven is a much better place now LOL! I am sure the poor little thing will be missed!
ReplyDeleteThat is one hard-working machine. I'm glad it's pulled through one more time.
ReplyDeleteThat hardly looks old at all. I guess maybe our old lawn tractor must be...ancient.
ReplyDeleteLucky that the tractor could be revived and continue its mission of yard styling. The styling is functional, but red sure brings out the 'sporting' nature of that diminutive workhorse...
ReplyDeleteWhat a nice shot! I love that ruby color on the tractor.
ReplyDeleteolder workers are always the best ;)
ReplyDeleteThat looks very much like my late Grandpa's mower. Thanks for waking that memory up for me. I love to remember Grandpa riding on that mower. :)
ReplyDeleteLong live the tractor. Happy Ruby Tuesday!
ReplyDeleteThank goodness that it could be jump started! It looks so shiny and well maintained:) Time certainly flies... I have it in my head that 89 wasn't all that long ago..:)
ReplyDeleteAh! The Little Red Tractor that Could. ;-)
ReplyDeleteWhoa, that looks like our riding lawn mower, which was given to us a couple of years ago! Since Western Auto has been out of business for a number of years now, and belts are generally listed by the model they are supposed to go on, it's an adventure every time the main cutting drive belt breaks.
ReplyDeleteYou know how to tell a story, great.
