Back Yard Line-Up

[CRF6179]

I have not been able to attend any shows or plow days this year, and the G,T.s have been mostly ignored.
Finally got around to showcasing the G.T.s in the backyard. A few got pushed and a few had to share a battery.
While taking pictures a couple spectators showed up. They happened to be driving down the alley on their golf cart.
I tried collecting a spectator fee, but Larry wouldn't pay it. He said since he used to own four of them he would not pay to see them again.
East side line: Country Clipper, Amigo, Massey Executive, Sears Super 12, Wheel Horse CG7 rebadged as a RICKEDY, Elec-Trak.

Spectators and my old cemetery mower.
Worst part was putting everything away.

Quite the herd Rick!

Thanks so much. Like you said. No shows to go to, or Plow day. Nice to see yours. Takes time to do that, for sure.

Interesting "cemetery mower" . Is that what it was advertised as and intended to be used for..?
Kinda makes sense as there weren't any (many) weed wackers back when that was made..

I found some advertising from 1968. They were advertising 4 hp, mine is 3 hp. runs and mows decent.
Those mag wheels probably make a little extra power.

And as new as 1981. I would've thought older..

I have a bunton version from 1978.

I have a bunton version from 1978.

And it is even narrower if I remember correctly.

That's a heck of a collection, Rick! You must have a large shop to put them all in! My favorite is the Executive since I jealous of people with all original ones, but "Rickedy" is cool as is all the others too! Thanks for the show!

Rickedy started out as a Wheel Horse lawn tractor. 7 h.p., and small tires/wheels. I put in an 11 h.p. briggs and installed the larger Garden tractor tires/wheels. Some purple paint and custom decals and the wife was happy. She uses it and the matching cart to tend to her flower beds.
