RKP'S - Rhonda the Honda

This is Rhonda the 80s model honda I got her for $50 at a estate sale where she set since 09 I put a new fuse in her and I cleaned the carburetor and it cranked right up (Lucky me right) It has a 5-speed shaft driven transaxle and a 10 horsepower Honda engine I entered my first tractor show yesterday.
Here's a picture my sister took My niece took a liking to her

Nice! I've never seen a Honda tracto in person.

> has a 5-speed shaft driven transaxle

I did not know you could find unicorns in Texas  

That is an excellent score, I bet you could keep most of the paint once cleaned and only have to paint one side of the hood.

Wait. You mean there's no drive belt? I didn't know that was a thing.

Yep most Cub Cadets are the same way the cool thing about Rhonda is the clutch is on the right side like a dynamark

Honda is....different. I saw a Honda tractor on CL that was water cooled.

Pressure lubed AND water cooled? Oh my. Wish I could get my hands on one of those! I'm toying around with the idea of building a full size tractor out of old car/truck parts. Soon I'll have a frame from a 57ish Chebby truck. I can also get a (supposedly running) 53 Buick, with the L8 and slushbox, for a few biguns. Would be cool. I'd have to gear it down with a 4 speed, but I've already got one of those.

@Ifitaintbroke that sounds like fun. Should be plenty powerful with that v8 Lol

Actually it is a straight 8. As in 8 cylinders in a line. Those are a bit before your time.

@Ifitaintbroke Humm I didn't know that was a thing . cars aren't my strong point lol

@Ifitaintbroke that's a nice engine
