I am no expert on the older tractors but this is weird. Maybe one of you can make the link work, please.

What do you find weird? It looks like a pretty standard old tractor with what was once a trip bucket someone added forks to so they could carry rocks probably. Also an aftermarket 3 point hitch kit by the looks. Maybe I am missing something but it looks normal to me.

Yep, looks like modified fenders from the Century series tractors. Sure would be easier on the riders than the standard WD fenders like mine!

Fenders are not for riders at any time!

I spent lots of time on a WD45 fender and tool box...... got scolded good when I reached to touch the tire when we were traveling down the road. Was 4 at the time but I remember it.

The forks are standard on those. I loaded tons of S**T with one of those.
I rode hundreds of miles on the tool box too. I do not want my grand kids or great grand kids doing that now.
I think the price is at the high end. Several tractors around here well under 2,000 for tractor and loader.
Regards,
Chris

I wish I had one of then buckets. I need something like that to get the matted down hay mix out where the cows eat. Cleaning out the front of the barn by hand is no fun.

Thinking about what Chris said about riding on the tool box, I did the same thing and loved being with dad when I was little. But sure as heck I will not be allowing my grandson to ride on that same tool box. Just isn't worth it. Hee, hee, I also missed seeing the funky looking fenders.

I saw the fenders, thought the guy probably saw the quality of the tin can repos from some of the aftermarket sellers and went ahead with some quality AC built ones. I got a pair of repo's and would not let anyone set on them, even if the tractor was parked.

rode many an hour on the toolbox, , on the battery box, (tractor was converted to propane so the old fuel tank wasn't in the way as much) and standing on the drawbar.
the new fenders are that poor, Wow. think I would rather have some old stiff bent up fenders if thats the case.

So do you think this safety thing has been drilled into us so much that we have created a generation of over safety conscious folks? Why wasn't my dad concerned about me riding on the tool box? Why was I sent done the road with two full hay wagons and a old CASE VAC with no brakes?
Will our kids, grand kids and great grand kids never get to enjoy some of the same risky things we did as kids??
I don't want anyone to get hurt. But being with Dad on the old WD45 was some of the best memories as a kid. He planted some seeds!
Regards,
Chris

Me and my two sisters used to go to our family reunion in Cherokee Ok in the back of the pick up truck with a topper. It was about 150-200 miles. They'd string you up if you did something like that today.

Chris by the time I was a kid we had 100hp tractors with cabs. We still had the d17 and an old farmall h. But the rule with my uncles was that second riders where only allowed with a cab. Not that my brothers and I didn't ride on the fenders of the d17 or on a drawbar when there was no equipment behind it. But yes for the most part we take less risk but fewer kids get killed on the farms too. It is easy for us to say we did it without any bad things happening but the truth is of parents had to deal wit the results of things going bad. Heck I remember leaving a 100hp 4 wd tractor with a cab crawling along and jumping up to steer it around the fields haying. I wouldn't let someone do that today. Too risky jumping into the step of a moving tractor to steer it but sure did enjoy doing it as a kid.
