Just a little update on the tri-cycle tractor work this weekend, actually only today. I started sandblasting the hood and welding cracks and extra drilled holes shut.

I also got the 8hp motor all taken apart after finding oil that looked like peanut butter and the oil dip stick gone. I took the motor apart and apparently the dip stick broke off and fell into the motor while running and broke the oil slinger off the bottom of the connecting rod. I have a whole rebuild kit on order and should recieve it tuesday. I also have decals on order with the decal wizard too...

Hope to get some filler on the hood this week and some primer. There is alot of little dings and a dent in the top.

Thanks for looking!

Thanks guys... I haven't got much done here lately... I picked up what I think is a 654 or 604 because it don't have a battery box and the hood is plain junk no motor or seat. The wife has been wanting a pink wheel horse for herself and I'm ok with it. She was in the garage today for a couple hours takin her new old horse apart. She already has a restored lawn ranger but wants a pink tractor thanks to jusjeepn... Thanks Pat... LOL

But here are a couple recent pics...

New decals from the decal wizard...

The hood after much work on dents and cracks

I got most of the motor together today and hope to get it fired very soon...

Thanks for the comments!

Gene, what more can I say that hasn't been already said, it's one sweet lookin' tractor. Excellent work. :omg:

[Gene_S 93]

Well between picking up limbs in the yard today and sawing some new grass where there were bare spots I got the 8hp motor together. I was hoping to get her running but haven't done that yet. Just another picture of the project.

Thanks for looking...

[Gene_S 93]

Well the weekend has went really well so far. Today I hooked up the coil and a auxillary fuel tank because my welded gas tank LEAKS... Installed the starter / generator and she fired up... Here is a short video of it... I have not yet painted the hood because I'm affraid it wont look as good as I want it to finished... Wife said I'm to picky and I'm the only one that will notice...

Brrly1 - I'm one step closer to having her done.
