kpthorsefan 34 #26 Posted June 28, 2009 Hi Kevin, the 141 is looking really good .What colour paint are you using and where do you source you stainless steel fixings. I have just started to take apart the 512D so that wont see the light off day untill next spring.Keep up the good resto. Michael hi michael, i managed to find a good piece of paint work on a bracket on the tractor and took it to an auto paint mixing firm and had it matched and mixed, the stainless steel bolts i had a job with because they are unc threads, but i managed to find some on good old ebay, not cheap though. the pan head machine screws on it i replaced with M6 button socket screws and managed to re thread to 1/4 unc so they would still fit the spire clips, which i got from screwfix as well as the No 10 self tappers. the coach bolts are at the moment zinc plated but will try and re thread some metric ones, as i could not find any unc. the front tyres i want i cant seem to find here, there are some in the states at $140.00 a pair and about the same to ship here, so i am stuck at the moment on them. All the best on your restoration.. kevin Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

TT-(Moderator) 1,127 #28 Posted June 28, 2009 Looking great, Kevin! Adding multiple pictures from a remote host such as Photobucket is as easy as pasting the image code of the first picture, hitting the "enter" key twice, and then pasting a second image (IMG) code from the next picture you want posted. If you don't hit "enter" twice between IMG codes the pictures will all be "stuck" together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

landsurveyor 2 #35 Posted July 7, 2009 Hey Kevin, I remember seeing your tractor for sale on ebay, I even had a bid on it Glad to see you are doing it justice. I cant find any 3 ribs in the UK either, multi ribs look pretty cool though. Keep us posted on your progress, VERY INSTERESTING (My charger is still in bits! - slow progress!).

I need a system to remember how everything will go back together. My luck it will look like something from Frankensteins lab hi bo dawg, i have had to scratch my head a few times to find out where some of the bits go, but i am lucky to have a C121 in the other garage to fall back on and see where bits do go, so far not had to look, but its not done yet ?. i must say i am enjoying doing it so it wont be my last.

jpmcleod 4 #42 Posted July 14, 2009 I have a C120 that I repainted several years ago. It looks great but it doesnt look any thing like yours. I am doing a frame-up restoration with my grandson on a Bronco 14. Spending more time on this one. Will have pic's of both in the near future. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
