WOW I'm not sure which I love the most, the old Kubota or the old Ford. My dad had an on Ford kinda identical to that one, his was extended cab and was painted in the blue oval Ford blue. I LOVED THAT TRUCK!

Shiny! Looks like that weight does the trick nicely. What model is that? I've got a big pile of dirt to move and I don't think I can get the Ford TBL over to do it anymore so I was thinking about a scoop.

Its a King Kutter, but TSC has the same thing fpr $380. http://www.tractorsupply.com/countyline-reg-dirt-scoop-2131514 Do a search on Craigs list in your area for "pond scoop" thats how I found mine for about half TSC price. The guy never got to use it as his Oliver tractor broke down right after he bought it. I did a search on King Kutter and found it at Northren Tool http://www.northerntool.com/shop/tools/product_200326104_200326104 its more expensive than TSC. I wonder if TSC's is a knock off or just a difrent lable. Looks the same to me. Same weight also.

Hah just like that! Thanks gurn. I even go down to Medina to visit grandpa every other week. I'll see if I can talk the Finance Officer into it.

I think I have the old girl about as nice looking as I'm going to get her. Most of the decals are on and the last of the detail paint is done. She sure is a hard worker and with the valves adjusted just right. She starts from cold like she has been running all day. I can tell I have more power also. This has been a fun project and I was very fortunate that I never had any real issues with it considering how it was when I started. Thanks for all the valuable advice I received through out this process from so many of you and the kind comments as well. Gurn http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twkhFzdEE08&feature=plcp
