Keep it original

just put some new tires on and a new engine and then just oil it over and keep it as original as possible

Great find

i would keep that as original as possible too. just looking at some of the pics, that sheetmetal would need alot of work to fix all the rust etc. it can be done, but i think you would enjoy it a whole bunch more just getting it running. that would be one project i would really enjoy. dont paint anything, put some half decent used tires on it, fix and/or find mechanicals to get it running, but leave it with the character its already got.

that tractor took 50 years to get the look it has right now...... :thumbs:

oh, and you could do the salad dressing thing thats popular with some people on here...... :ychain:

      Husband wants some advice… lol.  So we did an engine swap today on two suburbans because we could not get the one engine to spark all the time to get it running!  The engine ran last year before parking for the winter sleep…. Points were changed out for new the engine was cleaned to make good contact has new spark plug new coil condenser we even switched out the fly wheel today thinking maybe the magnet was weak…. Advice???   It would where are you out yanking on the recoil five or so times and maybe only get the points to fire twice if you’re lucky..  checked the gap and pull again… same thing over and over!  Thanks in advance!

      So I went to get a haircut this morning in the neighboring town of Kingsland.  Saw a few garage sale sign so I though I'd check them out.   The Garage Sales were a bust, but as I drove through the area, I spotted this 1960 Wheel Horse Suburban being used as a mail box post.    It was chained and locked to the T post and the front rims were sunk well into the dirt like it had been there quite a while.  I momentarily though about knockings on the door,  but the hood was cut, there was no motor and the transmission shifter rubber boot was long gone.  I say it's a 1960 as it had the treadplate foot rest.  It's probable best left for the yard art it's currently being used for.
