If I were 40 years younger the progress would be much better (too many metal parts in my back)!! I hope to have it pretty well wrapped up in the next week or so and I will post pics. I just received the new decals from Terry but will wait a month or so for the paint to cure before putting them on.

Glenn I love your nickname for it and it's a beast alright. It's been lots of fun trying to put it back into shape. One thing that won't be going back into service is the annunciator for the warning lights. The board is completely destroyed and since I grew up before Ralph Nader, I really don't see the need for a light to tell me to push the clutch..... :laughing-rofl: :laughing-rofl: I grew up on a Farmall and they sure didn't have that feature!! :) :)

All of the sheet metal is back on now, in a few days the black will go on the hood. Took it out for a breath of fresh air and as soon as I pulled it into the garage there was a "clatter, plink" and here's what was on the floor. Looks like the factory glue didn't hold very well.

Tractor is looking really good!   :handgestures-thumbsup:   You know that as soon as you fix one thing something else usually breaks.   :laughing-rolling:

Like Rosanna Rosanna Danna always said "It's always something" Boy, ain't that the truth! I ordered another JD 80 clutch disc for it like I did for the last two, should be here later in the week so I can get it JB Welded in place.

Yep that welded washer idea works pretty well on those hood hinges.   Surprising for me how much they wore on my 314 and 312 hoods I repaired.  Probably should have had a brass bushing in those when they were produced.

Lane in retrospect I think I should have welded in a piece of 3/8 ID tubing for support. My C series don't show that kind of wear so it must be the added weight of the lights is all that comes to mind. The brass bushing is a good idea!

I'd suggest finding a bushing that Fits, and just drilling out the washer that you welded on so it fits. It'll help ad some support and drastically reduce the wear...

Thanks Geno funny you should ask about decals. They are sitting out in the garage waiting for me to put them on. With Terry's Holiday Sale going on I couldn't put off getting them. I'll try to get them put on this weekend if the weather turns out as nice as predicted.

Geno before I forget, I used the Krylon paint plus primer you suggested for the satin black and it didn't react with the Ace Hardware red. Covered in 2 coats, good stuff :thumbs: . Epoxied the new pto disc in place and reinstalled everything. Put the decals on the hood and fender pan and that pretty well wraps it up for this winter. The rest of the decals will go on next year when I tear the upper dash out to repair a stress crack, reinforce the upper steering shaft bushing and take care of the rest of the detail work. Got to get back on the Suburban so this one is done for now.
