Excited or What ?
I saw this first photo on ebay. I just though it was worth sharing.....cause i know thats how i feel sometimes. The second was me w my new rabbit cage...about 1980. I do think i took an extra couple laps around the front yard so everyone in the hood could see

Re: Excited or What ?
yea Mike....remember the Chuck Taylors. I lived in those for a few years. I think I started black low tops...then black high tops....then..r u ready...WHITE HIGH TOPS! Yea Baby!
I don't know if u can see dad made this 126 a two stick for the power angle blade. I remember watching him mount a valve body underneath somehow. I think he got most parts from his work in philly at the BUDD company. He would say the stuff he would pick out of the trash was amazing!

Re: Excited or What ?
Hard to focus on the shoes with those kickin' lederhosen socks going on! I'll add PF Flyers to the list of '70s shoes...
Converse fish-heads were my favorite! What happened to the tractor, Dave?

Re: Excited or What ?
Tom....your just jealous. ( "I'm sexy and I know it")
What were PF Fliers.....must have been a knock off brand that Toms mom said were better...and he still thinks so to this day
Ah Man... Probably mid 80s the 126 got traded for a POS CCC 1720 or something like that. We had that for a week and dad told them to come and pick it back up. Next stop....the dealer w all the bright orange tractors from over seas. They had the cuttest little diesel engines and man he fell hook line and sinker!

Re: Excited or What ?
Sounds like u had a pair Lew! Those shoes look good on the store shelf.....and that's where they will stay. Too rich for me....and I have seen a few grown men in these over the years. They kinda look like "hippies".... and that's not me.

Re: Excited or What ?
Tom, you had PF Fliers, OMG those were top of the mark !
Nowadays if Dad put four kids on a garden tractor the neighbor would be on the phone calling the Division of Youth and Family services !
Don't point that BB gun at anyone- your gonna poke an eye out !
From what I recall nothing EVER happened

Re: Excited or What ?
Ken, I only remember getting PF Fliers one time when I was real young. I vaguely remember they came with a toy in the box, so that's why I liked them!
If they were expensive, that's probably why I only had one pair ever, must have been on clearance! I spent most of my life in Converse fish-heads of some sort.
Yeah, somehow we all lived without all those restrictions. We did real daredevil stuff, like ride in the bed of a pick-up truck for the little league parade through town! Push lawn-mowers without a dead-man (still have one at my parent's, still use). Sometimes I was even out after dark, and still didn't die...
