Howdy fellas, My name is Austin. Im a bit younger then most of you at the age of 17. But that has not limited me in my mechanical endeavors. From the age of 10 I was always wrenching on garden tractors and lawn mowers for some extra money... but that quickly got out of hand and the number of defunct GTs I had soon numbered over 10 on my 5 acre property. From there I sold a few and kept the ones I wanted which were a 1968 sears super 12 and a 1973 sears ST/16. But, my old iron fever got worse... I ended up dragging an old siezed up 1941 Farmall H from my uncles property and soon got it running a week before the country tractor pull.

Sadly my pull, the first I had ever done, was horrid but I had fun none the less. After that and going to a few more tractor pulls around the area I graduated to a slightly larger tractor, a 1947 Farmall M (Can ya see I am a red guy? Hahaha). I have done two pulls with the M and so far I like it.563001_578191735542979_592642083_n.jpg1186330_685206678174817_1473239685_n.jpg

The funny thing is I did all of this before I had my drivers licence and before I bought my first truck. Speaking of my first truck, a junk 1992 F150, its a complete pile but it somehow lived through being beat on by a few friends of mine and now I own the rusty hulk. I one day intend to move on to an M35A2 but I believe I will have to wait until funds are available and when my dad is less... resiliant against me packing the yard with more old iron haha
Its a pleasure to meet all of you and hope to learn about just about everything you guys and throw at me.

Regards,
Austin
