Retired Wrencher 7,002 #1 Posted 3 hours ago I took my time when I picked this up in the middle of the summer. It’s going to be my winter project so I decided to tear it down to the frame and clean it. Also go through one part at a time on assembly.. It’s never gonna be a pretty tractor.Or a show peace but it will be something you can use at the shows or just riding around the house. I’ve always wanted this model but I never could pull the trigger on one.I hope you enjoy the pics. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 10,082 #3 Posted 1 hour ago @Retired Wrencher like the , opportunities of a bare frame ? lets you enhance things as you go ? the inner upper frame corner , easily holds a steel brake line 1/4 or 5/16 , ELIMANATING THAT FUEL HOSE BREAK DOWN ? ALSO THE PTO LEVER SET UP ? loaded with easy , improvements . like a roller stool ride around , so its a comfortable , look / see trial , done a lot of that , when you paint an improvement RED / BLACK , it disappears . only a suggestion . patana oiled finish , would be easy , and era correct . mule drive set up , gold mine for functional detailing , tried marvel mystery oil , on a paint soak , for days , perfect patina , enjoy it . pete Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ri702bill 13,170 #4 Posted 43 minutes ago Well - so far, so good. One item - the lower portion of the "F" plate with the booger-snot welsa holding the patch in place. All that must be ground smooth to get the proper fit and support of the Unidrive. Thet area always traps water & rusts. Fix the welds, grind or wire wheel the whole face of the plate, prime & paint. It will last another 50 years... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
