Jake Kuhn 1,547 #1 Posted April 3, 2016 (edited) Hi All, Had this 1 apart for a while now, started it back in fall of 2014, just worked on it a little at a time, finally wanted to make sure and finish it up this year. Anyways yesterday got it put back together. Still need to add decals and paint the letters but other than that it is done. May add a set of fenders at a later time but like it without them for now. Pictures didn't turn out so good, but here are a few. Pretty happy with how this 1 came out. Thanks, Jake Edited April 3, 2016 by Jake Kuhn 25 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Kuhn 1,547 #3 Posted April 3, 2016 The before picture. Wasn't rusty, but pretty well beat up, all the sheet metal was really rough and engine was really tired and trans needed rebuilt. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

And Russell, I spent many hrs on this 1 getting it to the way it looks now, it was all sandblasted, and rust pits were filled and then sprayed with primer multiple times and sanded to get it ready for paint. It was then painted with base/clear automotive paint. It was a lot of work, but I am happy with how it came out. 17 hours ago, ol550 said: That thing knocked that poor Deere over. Kind of hard to see from the pictures, but it is sitting on 2 flat tires on 1 side. lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 36,945 #22 Posted April 5, 2016 (edited) Yet another beautiful restoration Jake... I was just thinking though... the rustification of the before tractor was looking pretty cool too. Edited April 5, 2016 by AMC RULES 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
