Friends of my family down the road needed some help today.Their mower has been in the shop and due back next week.Grass has got out of control.Took the D17 and 6 foot Woods finish mower and helped them catch up.Their grandkids wanted to sit on after I was done.Girl did not have shoes on but mom was 10 feet away and not worried.Key was in my pocket and they seemed to be enjoying themselves.Little boy wanted nothing to do with it while running,TOO LOUD.Maybe when he's bigger
Grass was tall 1st and 2nd gear.Tractor is too heavy to mow with but it gets the job done fast in big spaces ------------- You only need to know 3 things to be a plumber;Crap rolls down hill,Hot is on the left and Don't bite your fingernails 1964 D-17 SIV 3 Pt.WF,1964 D-15 Ser II 3pt.WF ,1960 D-17 SI NF,1956 WD 45 WF. |

My 2 1/2 year old nephew had the same reaction. Wanted nothing to do with the tractor. Too big and noisy... ------------- "Any man who thinks he can be happy and prosperous by letting the government take care of him better take a closer look at the American Indian." Henry Ford |

I remember when I couldnt stand loud noises, every time we fired up an old car or tractor in a garage i would leave incase it was too loud, but now, the louder the better...

Most kids ears are a lot more sensitive then adults. Probably just as well that he stayed away. Give him a few years and he'll want to ride any chance he can get, even if it is with his big sister!
