You're doing a fantastic job and you will be rewarded with a beautiful tractor.

[Ken B 3,116]

You are doing a very nice restoration on that tractor! It is going to look great when done!

Unfortunately I don't think I'm going to Ardingly but im hoping my tractor will be finished soon.

 

Thanks for all the support!

Managed to get through the rest of the paint before buying a new tin of the wrong colour!   duh!

Your dad picked up some bits for your project when he dropped in yesterday - so don't plan on doing anything but resto, resto, resto this weekend!

 

It's going to look grand!

Hi Andy,

 

thanks for the wiring loom, that saved dad a lot of pain 

 

He managed to fit and work out all the wires - even the connectors were there so it was even easier.

 

here's the latest updates

 

 

 

 

dad managed to get the engine fitted, but had lots of trouble with the fuel pump and carb.

 

 

 

but eventually it started.

 

 

and after some work making the exhuast fit correctly we coul look to put the rest together

 

 

 

new belt

 

 

tin work fitted - I didn't have time to clean the footplates before the first show

 

 

 

first drive :D

 

 

hood decals

 

 

 

fender

 

 

 

shiny paintwork

 

 

 

 

I'm really pleased it's ready for the first show next week, thanks again to my dad, grandad and uncle Ian for helping me get it all put back together. Also thanks (in no order) to Andy for the wiring loom, stig for the belt guard, points cover, float bowl and cylinder head, Anglotraction for the air filter housing, Mith the rear tyres and finally Neil for letting me buy the horse 20 months ago and bring it 300 miles back home.

That turned out great!

[meadowfield 2,545]

glad it's 99% done, looks good and runs well !

She's looking good Ewan, enjoy yourself at the show...

 

Oh, thanks for the last photo.... It's reminded me that I need to drill holes in my 6X6's fenders to put the tail lights on before I start the filler work..

[C-121uk 183]

Thanks guys!

[wheeledhorseman 573]

A project to be proud of Ewan. Good to hear the loom saved you a bit of time.

Enjoy your first show with it.

Hi Ewan,

It looks great! You have done a brilliant job. I hope the show goes well. Also what paint did you use?

Tom

[meadowfield 2,545]

paint used was vapormatic Case IH red and the Case white for the off white - it's a bit more cream than the other preferred choice for wheels which is land rover limestone.
