Thanks guys. And I don't know if mine will be that nice but will try my best at it. Denny sure did a nice job on that I love all the chrome pieces he put on it. I may put a set of hl5s on this one and have a back rest I think I will use too.

I like the looks of the lights and a back rest would also look good. Your steering wheel looks to be in good condition too!

Good luck with the 701  Jake  , I don't know where you get the time to spend on restoring your tractors , I wished I had a spare hour to tinker with one of mine.

enjoy the restore

Looks like you've got a good one to start on, Jake. I'm looking forward to watching you turn this back into a new one.

Well I couldn't help it. Project has Begun!

I'm going to just start off by getting it back to a roller frame again and then it may sit for a while or I may build the rest off of there. I have a rebuilt trans sitting here for it already. And I can borrow a set of tires that were going to be used on the 59, because that project is going pretty slow. I may start blasting parts today.

Thanks all, and didn't get a lot of time to spend on it today but did get a couple of parts blasted. Hope to get these and the transmission painted sometime next week and hopefully have a couple other parts ready by then too.. Tomorrow hope to dig around and see if I have whats missing of the lift setup think I may have what it needs somewhere. Also will be looking for a nice belt guard if anyone here has one they want to let go of please let me know. Thanks!

Cabinet or outside pressure blaster?  I had both but moved and they didn't come with me...  I miss 'em...  Pressure blaster would flat remove some rust and pretty quick!  Cabinet was handy but not nearly as powerful.
