Big boys and their little toys!

Oldest son is into tractor pulls here in Joisey and New York and PA :




He paid $50.00 for a 1970 broken, rusted Wheel Horse and turned it into this:




He stripped and rebuilt the whole thing - right down to the nuts and bolts:


It took almost a year of his spare time.







He always brings home a winning ribbon or trophy!


This is not him, but just a YouTube video of what they are like:




Sometime young son will race his other tractor, too! Hubby also tags 
along when they are close to home!

:o)

    1. I don't know how he finds the time to do it all - he works six days a week and goes to all the car shows, too!

  2. That is so cool. I had no idea small tractor pulls were so popular until I did an internet search. Lots of stuff out there and the Wheel Horse seems to be a popular one to use. Found an interesting forum:
