Dreaming of a Green and Yellow Backyard

Here is my dream view in my backyard. I bought most of these old junk garden tractors barely running and no mower decks or attachments. I simply wanted to fullfill a lifelong dream of making a fleet of my favorite tractors in half scale. Today everyone just heads to Home Depot or Lowes or Sears and buys a brand new lawn tractor very cheap. So when the old one starts to act up and the mower goes haywire it is too expensive to put a few hundred into the old mower. That is how i got most of these for $100.00 each. They still run and drive ok but they have no use to most people because they no long useful to mow grass . The majority of people buy them up and put them in their barn along with 15 or 20 other ones and just let them
sit for the next 20 years . Some of these people let me know they are not happy I convert them to look cute as a mini jd .
But it is what makes me happy and it keeps me busy during the long Northern Michigan winters. (:>)
