Harry,
I have a nice trailer that is painted 2150 Farmall Red with 935 White Fenders. The tie-down straps are yellow. The trailer pulls behind the 1250 Nightmare very nicely, and it is level on a level surface. This combination works well for parades. In the right situation, your 169 would look good on it.
Gerry,
While the 1250 Nightmare works well for parades, it also serves a wonderful purpose of cruising the neighborhood, and, on occasion, through the campus of North Dakota State University. It also is used in lawn care, dethatching and weed spraying; so it gets use beyond an occasional polish job. Yes, it is a tough piece of equipment, but I just can't bring myself to the thought of running that 37 year old engine to the max for too long. When I acquired it, that tractor took a lot of work to get it into the condition that it is now in, so that it can be used.
Special thanks to Harry for telling me: "Just keep working on it. You'll get it eventually." Many others offered their advice and assistance as well; and continue to do so.
