wheeledhorseman 573 #189 Posted June 14, 2012 Lars, congratulations on finally getting your hands on it - its been a long wait. Looking at the photo of the crate I couldn't see a tube of glue. I used to hate that as a kid when I got a kit as a present then discovered there was no glue in the box so I couldn't get on and put it together.

bowtiebutler956 649 #197 Posted June 15, 2012 Lars, I'm with craig, keep the restoration right here! This will be a thread not easily forgotten. Matt :flags-texas: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
neil 2,398 #198 Posted June 15, 2012 I agree with the others to keep restoration details going here. Besides it will keep the history of the tractor all in once place and when its all done you can print it off and keep it all in the Suburban International Folder How do you intend to start the restoration Lars. Are you going to build the tractor first , get it running etc then tear down and then start the restoration? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Are you going to build the tractor first , get it running etc then tear down and then start the restoration? ahh Thats to late neil.. have give it a good wash.. and done some work on the hood... that is "realy" bad somplaces..and E tanked some parts. the fenders and tool box is going in the E tank. Think im going to get the frame and all the parts that going to be sandblasted, blasted and Epoxy primed before ill build it.... it is so much cleaner to work on.. Then tear it down and give it another coat of Epoxyprimer then it should be ready for some paint.. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
