Not a tractor, but tractor related. This was an old cart my friends gave me when they moved. It was black with rotted plywood decking and sides. I took it apart and stripped all of the metal and painted it JD colors. The new deck and side boards are 30-50 year old 1X6" White Oak fence boards. I planed them just far enough to get the honey color I liked. When I sent my friends the finished pics, they said they had it 30+ years and never knew it dumped. I'm going to put an electric/hydraulic cylinder on it soon. My plan is to put a large White Ash log on it and make a display for my chainsaws at the County Fair.

Thanks, I collect old saws and try to only get ones over 100CC's, but I can't pass up nice smaller ones. I found an old Stihl dealer that had a garage full of old Homelites, from when his Dad owned the shop. I bought 19 saws from him for $20 each. All were over 70CC's but one. I think my 3 favorites were a Stihl 075, a Pioneer 700, and a Homelite 770G. I've put up more shelves since those pics were taken, I have over 70 old saws.

My cousin called Saturday morning, from an auction, and said there were two old Disston DA211, two man saws. They had a twin cylinder Mercury engine. I said, "On my way". My wife had wrist surgery a couple days earlier, and was having trouble getting out of bed. I got her up and in her easy chair, a pot of tea, and toast and butter. Called my cousin back and said I was on the road. he said too late, they sold for $1 each. When I first talked to him I said go $100 each on them for me. Oh well.
