Reassembly Needed.

[grandpa Love]

Dragging up an old post for an update. Nearly done. Waiting on the body shop to finish the sheet metal. Gotta get the new rear tires mounted. Hopefully done by this weekend . Tractor runs great. The brother's engine rebuild was successful. Unfortunately we did find many little parts didn't get delivered,but we have 2 parts machines and have been able to pull parts off them. There were however many extra parts,2 magnetos a distributor. 3 steering wheels, an alternator and a generator..

Another update. Sheet metal is back from the body shop. I didn't pick the paint scheme,but it looks great. Was well worth the $550.

Looks sharp to me. I'm not from the school that says it has to be painted factory bone stock. There's thousands out there that are all the same. And that's fine. But so is making it their own. Heck, you get 20 people in a room and they probably won't all agree on what was factory correct to begin with, as far as things that changed over a production timeframe.

I had a feeling that would turn out sharp.

Sadly the original post said,"there are no parts missing" they might not be missing but they didn't make the trip from KY to Alabama . Luckily we had a parts machine that we could get parts off ......many ,many parts. We kept a list
