Finally got the 953 mostly done. Been a long one but worth it.  Still have some small issues and details to get sorted out but 98% complete

In my opinion that is the first entry for the 2027 Red Square calendar.       @ebinmaine, let BBT know that we have the Cover photo already submitter.

Definitely is.   Would not be complete without one in my opinion

Thank you guys.  I appreciate it

I couldn’t have done it without this forum. I have bought parts from several of you guys for this tractor and many others. 
Because of this forum I am a much better restorer of these tractors.  Not that I am anything special but meaning you have passed on so much knowledge to me it’s not possible that I am worse at working on these tractors lol.

The muffler for now is a shower head style. Although it will not have a stack on it I am going to try and build a muffler for it.  Mounted the the twin engines horizontal if I can make it work

@Tonytoro416 That is without a doubt one of the nicest 953’s I’ve ever seen, absolutely beautiful! Any chance you are bringing it to the Big Show? I’d love to see it in person. Like the guys said, one of those pictures has got to be in next year’s calendar👍🏻

I am not going to make it to big show.  I really want to make it one year.  It’s a fair drive for us but still would love to come at least once
