Restoring? Heck, we need to up that 17 HP and get some drag slicks on the back. Or build a mud machine. Nice looking rig.

Hi. Thanks for the replies. I will start looking for the new tyres soon. The photo is from when I first started the project. This is what it looks like now. :)

Gotta get some flames on that hood ! lol.

A military friend brought back a Greenfield lawn tractor and a 2 stroke push mower from AU when he was stationed there.

The tractor had a weird drive system with two belts going to the rear axle with a single chain drive. It was setup with a lock differential on the drive wheels.. Adjusting the clutches was tricky.. But overall I liked a lot of the features it had. Especially the chain driven steering instead of the old bevel gear setup found on most lawn tractors in the US today, I am thinking that his had either 8.50 x 8 or 8.5 x10 tires on the rear.

Yeah the drive system isn't as good as the hydrostatic drives these days but it was a game changer when it came out cause it could transmit more power to the rear wheels. I remember my dad's old ride on was useless on any real incline.
