My finished M...

[Chance M]

I absolutely love this ole tractor. Put my new carb on yesterday. It no longer smokes heavy black/grey at idle, so no more fouled plugs and washed cylinder walls.

Thanks for info i obtained from you guys through my restore.

Great looking tractor! There's an old joke, "green side up". Glad the new carburetor fixed your issues!

 

[D Slater]

Looking good but probably better right side up.

 

[Chance M]

Thanks....ya know. It's amazing the amount of work it took to do this tractor. Restoring an automobile is easier to do! Was gonna do another tractor after this one but think I'll wait a bit and do a vehicle, haha.

Looks great, but how did you make those tires hold it in that position ?

Well to get one looking that good it takes a considerable amount of money, even more patience, and double that amount of work. Not to mention hunting & sometimes even finding good parts. Excellent results.

Yeah, I'm pushing 5k on this tractor...more than I wanted but I opted for the new 3 point over the poorly homemade unit that was on it. It is completely restored. As of today, all seals have been replaced.. Replaced my liftall and tranny front shaft and countershaft seals....no more leaks at all, I'm stoked bout that.

I'm not hurt though, cuz I wanted another tractor to replace some of the duties that I was using my kubota for. 5k toward a new modern tractor isn't gonna get ya far, and this is a part of history and one helluva experience for me, and achievement imo aswell. I'll pass this down to my sons(gonna have to build another so I'll have two to pass along) and them to theirs.
