The guy that owns this old Ford wants me to restore it back to when his dad bought it new. But I’m thinking more like black with flames, white diamond tuck and spinners. And yes it still runs. Let me know what you all think.

I don't even remember Ford making lawn tractors. I remember their other tractors. Looks like it is definitely built "Ford Tough" Sheldon. Wait till I get my Purple Hat with the feather in it and I will help. Nice fun post.

The decorating idea sounds spot-on, Sheldon. Hot-rod mowers could be the new SUVs. Great post.

Great idea Sheldon. Where do the speakers and stereo go? And don't forget to add some NOS, for those times you want to get the mowing done quickly.
Good photo, I like the angle in your shot. Thanks for sharing.

The only thing that needs, is some duct tape on the seat. What a beauty.

Hi, Sheldon...
I had a Ford Focus. This tractor probably runs better than the Focus did. Nicer colors too. You have elevated the art of photographing old tractors to new heights.

Helloo Sheldon!

wooowww it still runs! I love your transformation Idea!!! FANTASTIC! but the unique problem woud be that when it runs though the fields again, someone at the distance could think that it´s a alien invasion! lol Serious: I like very much a new appearence Idea.

Thank you for your kind comment on my post and for adding me in your friend list also. Have a sunny sunday!

Oh my,,,
Please don't do it! You'll ruin the resale value if you scrape off that vintage lawn tractor patina! lol!

If your gonna do it, go all the way! Put a HEMI in it. Fords always run better with a Dodge power plant in 'em!!! ;D
