    Thanks for clearing up what Slippers meant by "Tug Off"

    This came out great! I have never seen a Bolen's Ridemaster before and I worked in my Dad's lawnmower repair shop from the late 1960's until the mid 1970's. This is a museum piece, such a cool looking tractor. You need to get a T-shirt made with this machine on it some time!

    Just awesome. No matter who wins the tug of war both you and Slippers did a fantastic restoration jobs. You both should be very proud.

    Awesome job Taryl, I love it and the colors look great. I know what you mean about rebuilding a classic car, I have a 1980 Camaro that I bought 14 years ago and now that I am retired it is getting a makeover. I payed $3,600.00 for it and have already put $10,000.00 into it and still going. OUCH!!! Thank you Grass Rats for all the fun, laughter and knowledge.

    Super nice! I love old equipment. I just finished getting a Toro/Wheelhorse back into action after the original owner let it set for over three years. It's a 269H with the hydraulic deck lift and "tool-less" attachments change. When I went to look at it and saw that hydraulic deck lift I had to have it and the lift works great. It's probably the best $200 I'll ever spend! Heck after watching this video and Slippers I may go ahead and repaint it after mowing season. I really enjoy your videos. Now if I can just figure out how to stop the Briggs on my Scotts from trashing governor gears I'll be extatic! Yeah I watched your video on that too!

  • @paulravitsky2898
    @paulravitsky2898 3 года назад

    Nice restoration! I've gotten parts from Floyds for my Honda & Wheel Horse tractors, good people. I also use stainless hardware when restoring my stuff. I've been getting it from Albany County Fasteners in New Jersey. They have a great selection and great prices. I buy quantities of 25 or 50 and it costs much less than buying those little bags from the big box stores. Keep up the good work!

All he would need to do is build some sort of box that could hold a case or two, make it able to attach to the rear hitch on this mean machine and presto! Can't wait to see the tug-off!
