- Cool pics - i see you smashed the headlights out- LOL! I bet you got some weird looks at the store there.
At the barn- the blue tractor in the background is the flipper tractor? Oh yes!! haha people drive by and stare when they realize it's a mower haha. And Yeah I need to really invest n building a bush guard, and yes that the flipper lol. Actually a friend asked me to make him a mower, so I even painted it the blue he wanted lol. | |

| Ive had a few looks when i took my modifed tractors down the street and when i ran thru the mudhole back north - the neighbor across the street ( down here ) thought i was crazy .
Usually when i paint stocker tractors- ill paint em the original colors (unless it was an ugly stock color) - really havent painted any modifeds yet- cept for my blue/black 85 craftsman. | |

I used to have the exact same machine, unfortunately I gave it to my friend who thought it would be neat to cut apart the fiberglass body Only good thing he did was slap a 12 HP B&S in it. I still know who has it now, I can probly get it back if I really want. | |

| Meh..... Only slips a bit if I splash hard in higher gears, but down in 2nd and 1st it rarely slips. The skid plates help keep the water out. | |

| Thats about how deep the water was in the swamp at the folks last year - my stock agway did amazingly well thru deep water , didnt get stuck or have a belt slip at all, and that was days worth of running thru it . Belt was grabbing so well, even accidentally ran up a tree with it . I was a little nervous of getting stuck in it, specially after i saw what either looked like a large snake or snapping turtle's head come up out of the water- water was so black at first, you couldnt see the bottom | |
