    A neighbor just sold their house and gave me her husband's old tractor. Figured I'd increase the value by 10,000%....so I changed the oil, cleaned the air filter, and affixed a Ferrari hood badge magnet. I'll be taking it to the next exotic car auction and try to sell it as a one-off Ferrari tractor (like the old Porsche tractors).

    It was "originally" a 12 hp 1967 wheel horse with hydraluic drive, 12 volt generator/starter, voltage regulator and working cigarette lighter.. now it's a 1967 vintage Ferrari tractor. Bidding starts at $15,000...

    think it will work? It is the right color.... ha! The second picture shows the motor with testa rossa red heads...colombo designed

    I wouldn't be surprised if it became a bidding war...put it on ebay...one person's junk is another's jewel!

    Classic Andrew!

    I'm thinking after Bruce's last BBQ, his neighbor would LOVE that tractor.
    Put a Tubi on it & zoom!

    I should warn you, it's pretty fast off the line....0-4 in about 1 second...top speed, about 4. Also has stump-pulling torque, like a true colombo. You really sure you want to race Greg? :) :) :)
