Got a Dearborn mower today it’s off a old ford 8n tractor. Plan on putting a gas engine on it and mounting it on a cart or a 3 point fore cart. I want to drag it into the shop and start but I need to finish the sled I’ve been working on. Not much shop time as of late my son is home on leave and decided to get married. Eli

He said it worked when they put it away I can see it and it looks like a 5 foot bar steel wheels it is about 1/2 burried in awesome stuff wagon wheels, 3 walking plows, hay grapple he said we can dig it out in spring. Needs a pole the one on it was cut for a tractor. I think I’m going to put the mower on the back burner untill I see what I need for the old McCormick. In between I will dream about a new I&J. Eli

January 17, 2013 at 12:46 pm #75749EliParticipantI am fortunate to have friends and neighbors like this. I try to make it a two way street and thank them often. However its kinds funny most people think my truck is theirs because they use it so much people even asked my son why he was driving Mikes (my neighbor) truck. It happens so much i don’t even try to explan I just smile. Good people you can trust with anything. Just call me lucky.
