First post from Western Montana
« on: November 17, 2013, 10:25:38 AM »
Hey all! Just wanted to join the forum for everybody's expertise and maybe get to chime in when I can. I traded my 88 Ford Bronco and a brand new John Deere riding lawn mower for my 53' 3A. Probably the first time where I feel like I came out on top. Its pretty clean as soon as I read on how to post pictures I will.

Some things that I would like to do=
o Power Steering
o Disk Brakes
o High and Low in two wheel drive
o It doesn't turn to the left very well  :-/
o and fix the gas gauge.

I'm just going to say thanks in advance for the help.

Welcome! I was out your way last year in January getting a really, really old tractor from another member on here.
