ezeastside 93 #1 Posted July 9, 2018 (edited) Hi all, Its taken 1 1/2 years to get to this point. Life happens and we can't spend the time we would like to work on our tractors. I bought this 1077 about 2 years ago and I am pretty happy with the way it turned out. I was lucky to buy a 1277 from a member here that helped the reassembly. That will be next! Again thanks to the great people of this group that has helped along the way to get me back on track when things screw up. Now if I could only come up with a 1967 steering wheel to finish it off. Here she is... Enjoy!! Edited July 9, 2018 by ezeastside 4 12 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ezeastside 93 #12 Posted July 10, 2018 Thanks for all the positive feedback. It is my therapy on my down time to do these projects. I have a plow and a deck for this that needs restore as well. I still am looking for a 67 steering wheel if anybody has one to spare... Thanks! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ezeastside 93 #15 Posted July 10, 2018 @Mike'sHorseBarn No its not correct. I was able to get this from AZ but I know from the start its not the correct one. I had to adapt with a bushing and raise the wheel about an inch to be able to open the hood! I will take a close up of the mod tonight. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 5,288 #16 Posted July 10, 2018 (edited) Nice Job! Is the correct steering wheel a 3 spoke like the 73? If it is I have one. Edited July 10, 2018 by JPWH Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sarge 3,462 #20 Posted July 11, 2018 I may have 2 spares here, I'll have to look. One is nearly perfect - that's going on the 1277 when it gets redone for sure. Those '67s were pretty much the most elegant model WH ever built, with the D's being by far the ugliest stepchild known to man. I have a pic somewhere of the D180 sitting next to the 1277, wow....

ezeastside 93 #22 Posted July 11, 2018 @JPWH It is a two spoke wheel. Its larger in diameter with a bigger apron so the hood can open without hitting. @Mike'sHorseBarn below is a picture of the mod I made to get this running and driving and a picture of my 1277 (next project) with the correct wheel. I didn't feel like going through the process to remove it and chance damaging it knowing this tractor is up next I will take my time and have already started juicing it up. @Sarge Thanks and agree this style has a lot of character!!

Mike'sHorseBarn 2,475 #23 Posted July 11, 2018 Ah, that's the 953/1054 style wheel. Don't have one of those, sorry. Did you check with AZ tractor? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ezeastside 93 #24 Posted July 11, 2018 I did back when I got the one that's on it. I will give him a shout again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
