$50 of awesomeness: Our new Craftsman LT1000 backyard tractor
We bought this tractor last Saturday; The guy was vauge on the phone, just said a Craftsman with a bad trans and a plow and he wanted . We figured it was probably some old piece, but were pleasantly surprised when we got there and found it to be newer and in great shape (it's just dusty) having been always garaged. Then when we discovered the trasmission was FINE we declared it of awesomeness. I can't believe this has happened twice! The only thing thats really wrong with it is the axle is twisted slightly at the front left wheel, but we can probably bend it back, it's just flimsy sheetmetal. EDIT: We've replaced this axle with a cast-iron one from another Craftsman. No more axle bending here!

David Bradley tractor sickle dozer agriculturalist deejay 917.57561
This is a David Bradley tractor and attachments I picked up about a year ago. There was also a David Bradley 1 bottom plow but the hitch was shortened to use on a brinly hitch garden tractor so I sold that. From what I found online this was made about 51-53. It originally had a Continental AU8 engine. Engine was missing however. Tires look good from a distance but do have poor sidewalls. The tires are so hard though they might not need air, lol. Cultivator is bent so I'll probably have to take it apart to straighten it, broken bolts in my future. Sickle and disk both turn where they are supposed to, just need greasing. Might power it with a 2.5 or 3HP briggs aluminum block engine if I can't find a Continental.
