1100 project complete (pics)

Spent the winter painting my tractor. Turned out good but was a much bigger project then I thought. Now its time to get it dirty planting corn.

Great job! Looks factory fresh! for now... it has a summer of work ahead of it just like all of mine huh? That's why I just do the 'arms length' paint jobs, with the closest match Rustoleum sells... non sense being meticulous when by the end of September...it might look worse than when you bought it.

WOW! That looks better than new. Are the front tires larger than original?

Nice! My 175 needs that done to it. I'll bring it over so you can get started.

Hi,
Well done!!! What a cracker!!! Does look a little odd though with the steering wheel where it is. Are tractors in the States used much/at all with the steering in that position? Presume that you'd have to be standing and that raises all sorts of safety issues.
If you have to get it dirty be careful when you clean it!

It has 11.00x16 front tires which were a factory option. It also has 18.4x38 rear tires. A lot of 1100 I have seen have 34 rear rims. My dad had one similar to this one when I was a kid so when I had the opurtunity to by one I did not hesitate. He helped out with the project.

The steering column is adjustable in and out and also up and down. I don't operate it much standing up but it makes boarding the tractor easier in that position. I also have a seat with seat belt that I can mount on the fender for my kids to ride in parade.

Really nice. I used to run one of those 30 years ago, probably my all time favorite tractor of those I had any time on.
