ACman 7,630 #1 Posted May 20, 2017 (edited) This was his uncles tractor (only other owner) and he wouldn't budge much on price. All original paint but I do have a couple concerns. Rear wheel hubs are pushed in on both wheels and the front grill has a dent (but I know really good old timer body guy) , runs on full choke . I think she'll polish up real nice though...she deserves it after 50yrs of faithful service . You can definitely tell the previous owner took very good care of her . So what you guys think ? @elcamino/wheelhorse here some pics of my sons beater . Plan on brushing on a used oil finish , Removable bedsides and tailgate .

Racinbob 11,788 #2 Posted May 20, 2017 That looks great. No worries about the hubs. That happens. Just move them back out and snug them up. Maybe add a second set screw. It kinda looks to me like the rear seals are leaking and they kept the oil wiped off. The carb probably just needs a good going over and I think a good body man can straighten the grill out nicely. Definitely a very well cared for machine. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elcamino/wheelhorse 9,360 #3 Posted May 20, 2017 That is a nice looking tractor , like you said it could use a little TLC. I like the truck , looks like road salt is gave a great time eating the metal on the cab. You would think after eating all the bed off the truck it would leave the cab alone. A stake body comes in hand, you can always haul more than a pickup. Thanks for the picture. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tankman 3,520 #8 Posted May 21, 2017 Very nice classic Horse, lucky you can now care for the old Stallion. Doubt you'll have any problems whatsoever. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sarge 3,464 #9 Posted May 21, 2017 Might want to try either a quart of tung oil or some old fashioned Johnson wood wax if that bed is smooth enough for rubbing either one in , you can get some pretty good weather proofing that way with a little work . Pretty nice old Horse , btw - rarely see one that was actually cared for properly . Sarge 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
