Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

@FUTZ cool cars! There's a meeting of vintage cars in the parking lot of the local Walmart around here, it's always fun to see them.

Saw this today and thought wow a new Case! Well not quite, but it seems like a continuation of a familiar setup. I don’t know if these have been around for awhile. First one I have seen.

I’ve seen pictures of them for awhile.

Nice tractor! Looks like a JD painted orange

If you want your grandkids to turn out right, you've got to start them on the right path when they're young.

So I arranged a little seat time for this little girl this morning.

That’s awesome! Looks like she’s a natural!

@thebuildist , very nice!

Any time spent with the little ones is time well spent . It is great to see kids involved in the real world instead of the pretend land of video games .

This is my setup for aerating and dethatching at the same time. The aerator has a piece of angle iron bolted to the back of it with a hole drilled in it for the hitch pin. The aerator is an old heavy Sears unit from the early 90's. Several years ago the axle bushings were worn through and the bushing housings were shot. I rebuilt the unit with bearing blocks.

Pulled that in high range, 2000rpms, travel lever wide open My 4016 is a later model and is geared slower in high range (and faster in low range).

Anyways my lawn has some large area's that have not recovered from the summers drought. I'm in the process of overseeding the lawn.
Phase 1 - Aerate + dethatch - Completed
Phase 2 - Cut the lawn short and bag it - Tomorrow.
Phase 3 - Spread starter fertilizer - Tomorrow.
Phase 4 - Spread grass seed - Tomorrow.
Phase 5 - Complain about the cost...

Couple of pictures of my lawn when it looked nice... probably 2-3 years ago. It looks terrible right now. Massive dead areas. If I remember tomorrow, I'll take some pics.
