I went down a rabbit hole this morning and the grill caught my attention.

Old colt lawn tractor swapped with a Toyota 4 cylinder. It ran about 2 months ago, but it needs a needle in the carburetor. It also needs fuel lines and some other work, located in defiance ohio, look for trades

I’ve looked at this about 4 times now. Each time I look I see something I didn’t notice before! The words wow and yikes keep jumping into my head!

To me it's quite impressive as this item sits at the intersection of having enough time, enough motivation, enough skills (or lack of), enough tools and parts, and the very right life circumstances that won't stopping you dead in your tracks when starting to work on the project again and again (i.e. :wife:).

The poor little pressure relief valve needs a heaver spring or maybe just tighten it down until it bottoms out. That Toyota motor probably felt sorry for the hammering it gave the lovejoy. Maybe someone just lost heart. :spin: :spin: :spin:

Maybe they were building an unlimited class pulling tractor?

Nothing else makes sense to me.
