Looks like Sandra has moved up to a 654. We were just gonna give it one of those 2 day restores but the first 3+ hours were spent with every tool I own including the ball joint press trying to get the slot hitch off. It was a fun time. :angry

Glad there was only 1 person that heard it. :doh

Out here late getting all the parts painted. More pics to come, maybe between coats. :smile2

Someone also decided to get out the tin snips instead of putting a belt on it. :doh

Sandra actually said the sand blaster wore her out today. I didn't think that was possible. :rolling

We actually had another correct top panel and belt guard for it. We'll save the old ones to fix another day.

Most of the metal on the tractor was in better shape than most anything I've seen at that age. I thought for sure there would be some pitting but most of it was just surface rust. Most pieces cleaned up almost like new. Looking at these pics in all the rush I see we forgot all about the hood. Maybe next week... :)




















One more coat of paint on a few things and I'm outta here. :whew

No but seriously. I'm beginning to think my tractor is a Time Lord. It keeps regenerating. :surprised
