|
|
Got her all wired from scratched. She fired right up once we got the plug wires right. The gauges and rotor, cap and wires still haven't arrived from OEM but what can you do... It's not a COLBY 560 but still very nice especially for only taking 9 days from start to finish. It was torn down when I got to it...
I had 84 hours into it. I only charged $840 in labor which I didn't think was too bad since I enjoy it. I guess it's time to go back to college... No more tractors for a while  |

It looks good. For that kind of money I'd bring a trailer load down to you to do! Sam |

Very nice. 84 hours in 9 days is a good work ethic too.

Fine work. You will never starve if you have the willingness to work as hard as you have on that tractor. Good luck at school. Jim |

Good job and work ethic.I know of tractors that have been at paint shop for years that have not been touched.One restorer that does nice work does about 5 at a time.Works on one than moves on to another usually the tractor is tied up for a year or more but when they are done they are very nice but cost 3 or 4 times what yours did.Never had him do any but got a couple after they were done and they were hard to fault.Classic cars are worse. |
