Rebuilding 2 at once

[Kelly 1,028]

I'm going to rebuild 2 tractors for my kids to ride at the MI. WH show in aug.

The first is a B-100 auto, for my son Ryan 8 and daughter Hunter 12 I picked the B as it is in pretty good shape and will be easier for them to drive being a hydro.

I had about 10 tractors lined up to pick from and after looking them all over this is the one, it needs a hood and engine it has a broken rod, but I have a nice 8hp kohler to put on it, I know the 8hp is kinda small for a hydro but it will never mow just putt around and pull a trailer around the yard to pick up stuff, after a tear down and power wash, it looks nice, should go pretty good, I'm not tearing it much farther down, like I said just a rebuild not a restore, new paint and only things it needs new decals, and the little stuff, I'm going to spray it with valspar from TSC I've used it before takes a while to dry but looks pretty good and is cheap, I'm hoping to have the running gear painted next weekend.

The next tractor is for my oldest boy Nick he picked the C-85 he liked the black hood, I offered others in better shape but he wanted this rusty one, the only black hood I have, wish I could find another in better shape cheap to start with and use this one for parts, but we will use what we have, we will be putting a 12hp kohler out of a 312 in it and he wants older style C fenders not the 300 fenders on it, it will be alittle more work as it's on the rusty side, but he will be doing most of the work with Dad guiding the way, this one will be mildly modified to suit him.
