 Topic: Repower 7080 with Colton engine
Posted: 26 Dec 2011 at 5:16pm |
Drug my son Andy's pedal tractor out of flower bed, his Mama was using it for yard art, and replaced wheels, painted and put on new decals for his son Colton's Christmas.

Awesome job Sam! I bet he was lovin that!
I never had any orange pedal tractors. My brother and I had a red one and a green one with the trailer that we got second-hand. Too bad I was into tinkering even back then. Really too bad that I wasn't too good at putting back together. Neither one survived. Would have been better if I had used wrenches instead of a hammer to take things apart. No wonder my backside stayed sore. : )

I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me!

wife picked up a free MX Magnum w/wide front last fall. kid outgrew it and needed minor repairs. masking tape and rattle can made a decent looking 8070 out of it. Grandkids don't know the diff!
