This is what she looked like when I brought her home last winter and then after I scrubbed her up a bit. Dan in Mass.

That looks great !! Makes me want to get started on restoring my Comando 8... I have to wait to get into the new house in a few weeks and get settled in before I do.

Looks like "scrubbed her up a bit" is a bit of an understatement!

Looks nice!

You need to fill us in on the formula you used to scrub it up with. I have five or six that could use the same scrubbing!! :thumbs:

Hey thanks for all the replies I had a ton of fun doing this. The special formula I used was this stuff called elbow grease.I have wanted this model wheel horse since I was 12 years old in Ind. and some of my friends had these. Now 42 years later I have one. Oh yea! Dan in Dudley Ma.

So that is where all of the milk cases from the local dairy went to!

Nice looking restored tractor!

[dano53 1]

Yea I tried hanging that milk crate back on but it just didn't fit right. Dan in Ma.

That came out nice Dan! I see Wayne hooked you up with the parts you needed.

I really like that style of tractor too.

Fireman (Jeff) just put up a really nice plow for sale and a good price for that condition but if you prefer the rusty one I have, it's still yours.

What kind of soap did you use? I think you could sell a couple gallons of it on here. :thumbs:
