After the paint job it became a parade tractor for a few years. It got to the point every time I wanted to play with it the battery was junk or the fuel going bad. It got a fuel system over haul and since then it's became just another farm tractor earning it's keep.

ToddnwIL, chopper should be a great workout for your AC 220. Bet it’s 426 sings with that load…? Thanks for sharing.
Perfectly painted up Parade queens look nice. But I’d much rather operate a great running workhorse.
