Here's a photo to warm your winter day and mine. Grand-daughter was driving so I could ride and take pictures.

Nice pictures of your 50. Even if you couldn't see the all green hood you could tell it's a 50. Narrow hood, muffler, and spark plugs in the block all tell you it's not any newer. Very nice pictures. Mike
 
Tim is that a Chevy Tracker painted JD green and yellow? If so I bet that makes one heck of a service truck:) lol
 
Yes I made a few of them, I call them a "Street Gator" I made a cab back and put a dump bed in them (this one don't have the bed yet) I use the power steering pump pressure ran through a diverter valve to raise the bed,,they are fun, and you can still haul a couple Thousand dollars worth of parts in it easy...The one in the picture is #6,,I was selling them for $8,000,,a bunch better than a regular Gator..

They look awful handy. And the price is half of what a gator costs. With alot more uses and fuction I might add! Very neat.
 
I have 2 more stripped down and ready to convert,,but they got put on the back burner while I was building the 60C,,I was thinking about Camo wrapping them when I get back to them...
 
Ooohh no!! I tried to get a blown up pic of it but I'm still learning this picture thing...Darn it
 
Ya know we all complain on those hot July days about sweating but I'd be right there in that pic walking down that road sweating away and loving it right now if I could. Cold here in mid Michigan. Could be worse , it was abt 30 today but sure we will see our share of zero,s before long. Thanks for the pics.
 
That snow blower on an open station doesn t look like any fun. I hate those things on a cab tractor. The snow is worse than soybean dust. It ll find it s way through anything.
 
(quoted from post at 02:27:03 12/31/12) Thanks everyone for the nice comments. Yup it's a late 50. We weren't pulling a corn wagon though :)

Ron, what the serial # of it? I assume it's a 55 by your screen name but mine is a 56. Be curious to how close they were. Thanks.
