After getting frustrated, by price and location, looking for an AC Model G to rebuild I remembered Johnny Cash's, "One Piece at a Time". I found 2 Montgomery Wards Garden Tractors that needed help. I got an 18 hp B&S with no front sheet metal, gas tank or dashboard for $50. I cleaned and rebuilt the carb and the engine ran. I took it for a drive and the transmission worked pretty well. I then found an 11 hp B&S, MW that had front sheet metal but missing engine parts for $75. I screwed, glued, bent and fitted the front sheet metal to the first MW. I built a dashboard from an old computer box and fitted the gas tank from the MW2. Got a nice seat from my deceased mother in law's Mobility Scotter. I had some Persian Orange #1 and an A-C decal left over from my Model C rebuild, so the new tractor is now added to my Orange fleet. I also added dual exhaust just because I could.

Actually I'm going to use the MW2 frame and steering along, with deceased mother-in-law scooter's electric motor and controller, to build an electric tractor. Maybe I can get double payments from Medicare for the projects. Watch for my post in about a half year.

Pretty cool machine you have there. I want to hear it. Bet she has a unique sound with those dual stacks.
