GT14

Very nice, my next refresh will be my 69 GT14. I changed out the engine to an 18hp Kohler a few years ago and did a minor clean up at that time.

The shaft from the drive mechanism was all snotted up with weld so I'm going to grind it down and re weld a new piece on.

gmso far this tractor has been tight and not worn out in the typical gt 14 spots

The hood is looking excellent after 4 to 5 hours of body work!

Couldn't help seeing a rag sitting on a can of denatured alcohol, Hope you remember the potential for spontaneous combustion and store them in a fire proof container or hang them on an outdoor clothes line to dry.

The work you are doing looks great, keep the pictures and updates coming.

Looks pretty darn good Jason. I think you might find that when you do all the tearing down, fixin and repainting yourself you get a little more attached to them. You don't see too many GT 14's out there all prettied up...
