Half Scale Tractors – Forty years ago Deb and i were driving home from the Silver Lake Sand Dunes and i stopped at a small tractor Dealership in Howard City. I spotted several compact articulating tractors with suel wheels on the front and rear axles that looked just about like a half scale farm tractor. I fell in love with them and everytime we drove to Silver Lake I would always stop and drool over them. They were way too expensive to buy . I remember one trip to the dunes we saw the dealership had closed so i never saw the tractors again. But I never forgot them and today my dream is starting to come true. I now have a 4×4 articulating tractor of my own and as of yesterday I now own 8 tires and rims that are going to end up on that tractor. It’s hard to believe that anyone would still want something like this after 40 years. Some things have not changed as far as i still can’t afford to buy a brand new one, ha,ha. But by buying the tractor at a great price I just had to get the tires to go with it. In less than one week I will get going on this long, long , long awaited dream tractor.
Deb and I had motorcycles, three wheelers , 4 wheelers, we had 6 Corvettes, and had over 15 different dunebuggys, and a couple four wheelers.
I even bought 11 brand new John Deere Tractors over the years but never a 4×4 articulated one with duel wheels front and rear. At my age I’m sure my next project could be a custom wheelchair with duel wheels, lol so i better not put this off any longer, Tee, Hee .
Have a great Sat.
