Did you fabricate those running boards or are they from another model tractor?

They’re from a ‘76 B60. I just cut them down to fit.

I think Denny cut those down from a larger B series tractor and added the supports to attach them.  Welcome to the site.

Thanks Jason..... We just got back from several days in Mt Rainier & Olympic N.P’s. so I don’t think I’ll be able to make the show up there this year.

:text-yeahthat::text-yeahthat:The unpainted hardware really sets it off and the tire combo is killer. Not quite sure about the seat as it looks a little lawn mowerish/MTDish but I guess thats what a LR is.  The floor board non skid is flawless and Jim's stack is the answer! 

 

Forgot to ask whats the steering wheel off of?

I'm with you on the seat Jim but I just never did like the original seats and there just aren't many choices out there in a new seat, at least as far as I know.  
I've seen this steering wheel on a 702 and I'm not sure what else it was used on. I've always liked the looks of them and was lucky enough to find one for this.

Got the carb and fuel pump cleaned up and back on, the wiring and cables installed and fired this thing up and took it for a spin around the yard. I also put a taller steering wheel on to see how it feels. I'm hoping to get the hood painted in the next week or so and finish this build.

Nice build Denny!  I really like the foot rests for little guys!  It always worries me when I see Emory's legs hanging down on one of the older tractors.

The last piece is painted, now to let it dry a day or two and put the decals on and this project will be finished.

Unless you used hardener I would let it dry a week or longer. The decals can trap solvents under them and cause the paint to lift.

Yes, even with hardner and we use a bake booth, they can still bubble if not careful!
