MF-10 Massey Ferguson Garden Tractor

spiffy little tractor from the early 70s.
I got it at the flea market, paid $400, and drove it up the ramps into the back of my pickup.

put some new tires on the front, a new battery, changed the oil, added gas and she's good to go.

Put new tires on the back at the end of summer 2010, and even drove the little MF in the 2010 Kelseyville Pear Festival tractor parade

the power takeoff rattled some welds apart halfway thru tilling up the backyard, When I repaired it, I added a couple extra gussets and made sure all the mating parts fit exactly, far better than factory. it should be good for another 35 years.

whilst performing that repair, I hit upon the idea of attaching a sickle bar mower, just happens that I have an old 3ft sickle mower on the afterwhile pile, Not certain yet of how to mount it, but it shouldn't be too difficult.

I need to find or make some wheel weights, need just a little more weight in the back for the tiller to work best.
