| Ya hillbillly! You havent even had it home for a week and you already have dirt on the platform. Does it run or do you have to tow it around with a rope???? I always wondered if Larry put all the parts INSIDE of his engines. LOL LOL |

Pretty nice find, Fred. Are you even thinking about using it or is it just for show?

Looks even better off the truck. That is one nice machine. Thanks for the pictures. ------------- Think for yourself and be your own expert. Be willing to change your mind; however, willingness to change your mind doesn’t mean that you will. Blindly following any path is the pinnacle of insanity. |

| That sure is a sweet machine. Unfortunately, the operator would need another pair of arms to run that thing!! |

| Fred, theres a problem here. Most of the tractors you have are GREEN! This one is ORANGE! I better come get it so it can be with some other ORANGE tractors so it doesn't feel so lonely and out of place! We wouldn't want the GREEN tractors to start making fun of the ORANGE one! |

| Good looking tractor. I see it's got electric start but there is not much room to crank start it, anyway. Interesting choice of having the crank handle stored on the right fender, most I've seen have been on the left fender. |

that is one of the few remaining items I would really like to buy, although I would prefer the unstyled version if I had a choice. Glad you got it; sure looks nice. ------------- The 14th Annual Exclusive AC Swap Meet will be held in Boonville, MO, March 7-8, 2025. See the club website for details: http://www.moacclub.com/ |

Fred, nice looking machine
Can you give me a little info on the exhsust pipe? Occasionally I see a tip like that or a more oval shape and always wonder what that design is or does?

Very nice Fred. I only know of one other restored Styled Maintainer and two restored Unstyled Maintainers including my own. There were only 411 Maintainers built in 1938 and 1939. ------------- Nothing is impossible if it is properly financed |

Alright! Enough pitchers! Go fix the dang driveway already! You're gonna wear it out lookin at it! LOL! Very nice find Fred. Kinda takes the fun out of it with it already nice and shiny. Go mess it up some, so you can make it pretty again. ------------- I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me! |
