.... I mean TOOL. Yeah, that's it.

One of my neighbors was selling off equipment in preparation for selling his property. I've helped him work on this old tractor so he gave me a good deal on it. So it's a 1982 John Deere model 317 with several attachments (including a plow). Strong enough to pull a car around and (with chains) plow the driveway.

Hi Max,

That's an awesome thing to have! I' really lucky, and my neighbour has a
tractor I can use any time. It's amazing how useful they really are, and if
it's there, you can use it for some many things you wouldn't think of if it
wasn't there.

Good score!

Allan.

Way cool. Did you plow snow with it?

yes, it did very well on my asphault drive. wheel weights and chains help,
but it did pretty well without them. I also had the three point on the back
to use things such as a grade blade.
