The Jet Star 2 is sort of a rare find, being made only in 1963, but this is the little monster I"ve spent 25 years on. I don"t think Dad and I could function without it. Not pretty, but unbelievably handy with its Swartz loader. It could use some "tightening up", but it runs like a top with lots of power despite using a bit of oil. I also own a 1960 Jet Star.

It sure is handy to carry all those carburetors around. Is the paint original?

I'm trying to decide what the other tractor is. A U with 9-bolt wheels, or a ZA on oversize tires?

Paint is not original, nor is it very good, but it was what Dad knew how to do. I think it is Prarie Gold, however it should eb energy yellow. The machine got put together out of about three backyards. The other tractor is a UTU with 18.4x38 on it. They were all I had to roll it around with at the time. Usually just cast centers and 15.5x38. Looks pretty funny!
