Princess '55 Lawn Mower to Farm Tractor

[PVF1799]

Got a chance today to get the Ag tires and rims off of Rex '48 onto Princess '55. The turf tires w/chains have been on her since we obtained this tractor ~10 years ago. She now looks like a working farm tractor. Wheel weights are off of Rex '48 as he's getting new ones. You'll note in the one the photos - she has a newly painted rim - while repair a flat I took the opportunity to sand blast, prime and paint. Imagine how sweet Rex '48 will look.

Off the farm to my home shop driveway.

You are so blessed that your dad is hale & hearty and still able to enjoy working with the cubs. I am following all your posts with great admiration re the restoration cub. Great stuff

Don't know which looks better...that '55 (my favorite year) or that handsome gentleman sitting on it!!!

Finally I see a CUB that looks exactly like mine, grill and all. But always thought mine was a '52 and serial # in the 12000's. If PRINCESS '55 has that grill could mine be a '55 ? And actually think the '52's were really in the 14000's ? Well, now you all know what a few of you thought about some of my posts ..." this guy knows nothing about TRACTORS" !
