Ha, ha. These pics reminded me of a couple that I have.

I was doing some work under the front end of my wife's T10 Blazer and came in the house to find this:



He's got all the right tools, a saw, a screwdriver, wrench, and he is fumbling around with a hammer--what more do you need??

Your tractor pic reminded me of this one:



This was my pedal tractor when I was his age, so I dug it out of my Mom's shed and restored it for him a few years back and gave it to him for Christmas. After I got done with it I told my mom if she ever buys her boy another pedal tractor to buy two of them to save me a ton of restoration money later on.

I enjoy reading your posts. It sounds like you have ahd a helluva run there at GM. Does GM still build trucks at Flint??

I had one of those when I was little as well. I had a trailer for mine too.

Yeah, me too. That damn wagon took some serious work to get back to a useable condition. I had overloaded it so many times that I had cracked the bottom and sprung what was left of it like an oil can. It was a mission during the restoration to get the wagon usable. I could have gotten a new one for a lot less effort that it took to repair this one, but what fun is that?? I added a reinforcement across the width of it and welded the axle brackets to the pan itself--seems to be holding up well. How many kids do you know that broke their toy wagon from overloading it??
