"More Stuff To Restore"
"This Tractor Is Extremely Rough !!!"
This will be my new Tractor Pulling Tractor!
Should Take Me A Few Months To Restore.
"What Was I Thinking!"
Want To Get It Restored By Summer 2000,....
I Will Hvae About $2500.00 In Her For Parts By The Time She Is Finished.
"The Fella That Owned It Tore It Down!"
Got A Lot To Rework!
I Take Everything Apart For A Complete Restoration.
"Engine Parts !"
Lucky It Had All The Parts!
The Heads Are Rebuilt At Least.
"My Little Helper !"
The Little Ones Always Want To Lend A Hand!
Sometimes They Sit In The Damndest Places.
"YUK !"
I Opened The Steering Box, And This Is What I Found!
It Was Full Of Water, And Needs A Good Cleaning And New Bearings.
"Coming Apart !"
I Pulled The Front End To Change It To A Single Wheel Front End!
I Need To Keep The Weight Down For The Pulls.
"Need A Hoist !"
Here Is One Example How One Tractor Can Help With Another!
Good Thing I Have Another Tractor To Help Out.
"Pile Of Rust !"
Here I Piled The Parts Out Of The Way!
Notice They Are On Wood Pallets.
"Getting Her Stripped !"
Less And Less, Looking More Like Nothing!
I Will Have Her Down To Nothing In A Short Time.
"Disassembled For Rework !"
Got The Rest Of The Engine Apart!
Now To Send The Stuff Out For Regrinding.
"Pulling The Rear Apart !"
I Pulled The Rearend Apart!
It's Not A Real Restoration If You Don't Do Everything.
"New Parts !"
Just Like Christmas!
Nothing Like A Pile Of New Engine Parts.
"Spring In Maine !"
Typical Spring, Just Wait And The Weather Will Change!
Lucky For Me It Melted A Few Days Later.
