I hope so because I need some seat pans. Everything else seems to be there. No canvas top, but that can wait.

Mites like to ride, they do not do well with flat tows. Here is a Mite I carried home after a front axle spindle failure. This was a while ago, like maybe 1985.

Cool! Do you still have your mite? Now I know who to bug with my questions about mine when I have them....
Mine will be riding home in the back of the truck as well.

I've never owned a Mite, but have worked on plenty of them. Someone is selling Sam Werner's inventory, there is a post about the contact info here somewhere. He had EVERYTHING for them.

Yeah I saw that thread in the mite forum. I will follow up on it after I get home. Was there ever a roll bar or cage produced by uncle?

Mighty Mite in the process of being loaded, our makeshift ramp worked great!

Ramp looks familiar, military, commercial? Almost looks like a aircraft pallet, but the raised sides looks more commercial. Perfect size it looks like.
Biggest question, is all the stuff going to fit back in with the mite in there?

I got everything plus a bunch of other stuff too. Had to buy a rusted out m105 to bring everything home. Got 7 extra tires and rims too.

Knowing what was in the back I was wondering what you were going to do. Heck if you wanted extra tires with rims, I'll have 10 5 tons available in a couple weeks, lol

The extra tires and rims were from M151s, the tires will fit the mite, although they are a bit taller than the factory tires.

One of the mower decks was painted olive drab... That counts for something right?

Homeward bound!
Just crossed into South Carolina headed south on 95. Going to run down to 20 and then take that all the way over into Georgia.

About 60 miles from Augusta I think. Stopped to eat in Lexington.
Edit: Oh yeah, the Bojangles in Lexington SUCKS... Cant believe I paid for chicken that was hard as a rock.

When I was stationed at Gordon in Augusta, GA I tried Bojangles once, never again after that. Myself I'm a fan of Bushes in central Texas, but Cains and zaxby's are pretty good, and the sauce is almost identical.
