Looks great Zane...time to remember how to put it back together.    Maybe take some pictures as you go for the members who need pictures of how certain things go together...ie...the PTO pedal hookup, the brake linkage, steering, etc.     Pretty cool mate. Looking forward to seeing it complete.

[zanepetty 117]

I will. Thanks Steve :)

[zanepetty 117]

Figured the PTO pedal out and I got some nice new springs and all new stainless cotter keys :)

[AMC RULES 37,195]

Looks awesome...

bringing it to the big  show Zane? 

[kudzu3 323]

Too good! .  Where'd you get the springs?

[zanepetty 117]

At the hardware store! I saw them hanging up in there and I HAD to buy them. And yes will be at the show :)

[zanepetty 117]

Did a few things today. Also ordered a new amp meter and matching hour meter (my dash tower was nicely fitted with one before so I figured I'd keep it to help keep track of oil changes.) I'm kinda stuck until I get those in the mail.

Starting to look like a tractor again... Looks great

[zanepetty 117]

Thanks! I want it done so bad. I'm sick of looking at it in a million pieces

[51Chevy 66]

Same here, im in middle of restoring my 854 it should hopefully be done in time for the show in pa.

[kudzu3 323]

Looks real nice Zane, your attention to detail is impressive. Not to hijack, but I finally got my trans painted today (first red), between wind gusts.

[zanepetty 117]

51 Chevy are you documenting your resto? If so I'd like to see. Tommy-id like to see your new red trans!

[51Chevy 66]

Yes u am its posted under my first Restoration 1964 854

[JERSEYHAWG / Glenn 4,498]

Hi fellas, just wanted to jump in. Nice job so far, looks sweet. I guess I am getting itchy, started breaking down my 854.  Everything rusted together, went through a can of PB blaster and half can WD 40. drained trans oil, have parts boxes all over. Question, do most of you fellas pull the motor off the frame? seems thats my next job after I replace all the seals in the trans.

[wildman 205]

That looks awesome.

[51Chevy 66]

I did, just so it looks good only 4 bolts

[zanepetty 117]

Def. Like he said its just four bolts and it makes for a much nicer job.

[stevasaurus 23,274]

Zane, check out this thread if you are going to make the big show...make sure Terry gets a good picture of your horse for the magnet...

 

[zanepetty 117]

Thanks Steve! That is so cool!

[stevasaurus 23,274]

How is that for incentive to get her done?? 

[zanepetty 117]

A great one if you ask me! I'm working on her hard still :)

[zanepetty 117]

Sorry for all the posts guys, I was just anxious about my new gauges. I know the hour meter isn't stock but there was one in the dash tower when I got it so I bought a nice new one. Plus it will help me keep up with oil changes and stuff. I tried to get an amp meter that looked as original as possible. I really like them :)
