New drivers farmall 130

Wed Mar 31, 2010 2:28 pm

I had a surprise visit from my Aunt and Uncle today. I fired up the 130 for Uncle Phil to drive. And I was surprised when Aunt Rusty got on and took it for a test drive too.

The grass is getting green I need to get a mower on a tractor. Looks like it need a cut next week. Aunt Rusty noticed the little trailer right away. Grandpa got it used when I was 5 or 6 years old and we used to ride in it all the time. The only difference between now and then is that I put atv tires on it after the original rims rusted out.

We had a great visit. And a lot of fun. Aunt Rusty said the Grandpa's bolens lawn was a lot of fun to drive. But the 130 was great and wanted to take it home :D

Were the lights on the 130 always mounted up high like that? With the lights in that position, it looks like a Cub that went on steroids and did some heavy lifting for about 6 months. BEEFY!!

When I first saw this thread, I thought maybe you were upgrading the computer from XP to Win7.
