If I had one of those, I’d never have to mow. My lawn wouldn’t be anything but dirt…..

I have to control myself when around the house with the 450 parked nearby

Sold this a few years before the other showed up.

Realized quickly that riding in 2005 through 2016 wasn’t like riding in the ‘80’s. Too many idiots with cell phones not paying attention.

There’s really few bikes that I’m comfortable on, as I’m quite tall. Loved riding this one, but didn't fit well. Forward controls were a non-starter, as I had a dirt bike that fit well, but not a good ride on the road.

This only goes 12mph. You have to pay attention to drive it. I started driving it over 50 years ago.

This fits me perfectly now …..

Dan - for sake of reminder, a while back you inquired as to the manufacturer of the loader on this tractor. I promised to inquire with my Dad. I wasn’t even a sparkle in the Old Man’s eyes yet…my brother was…

I did finally remember to ask him about the loader on my my 1953 +/- Minneapolis Moline ZAU.

They bought the tractor without a loader….maybe ‘58 or so.

He said they sent it “somewhere” to have the loader put on.

First I’d heard that in nearly 60 years. Always assumed they bought it as I know it.

He didn’t have any other helpful information. He’s 84, and I respect that.

40 years ago, my grandfather would have been able to recite chapter and verse. He was the mechanic, Dad not so much.
