Fixing one thing at a time

Hello Friends

Cosmetics being done. Section by Section is being sanded and cleaned and primed for final paint. Replaced the Fuel Pressure gauge which was shot. Found a SW unit that fits in the day perfect and works like a champ. Not changing out any other gauges as they work and I think once I start trying to disconnect the copper tubing to the units, could have more trouble than I need right now.

Hood, Battery Boxes, floor plates, air filter assembly all painted and look great. Will be putting back on soon. May not get frame, engine and ROPS cage done this year, as Im running out of time. Not worried as mechanically she runs great and all leaks repaired.

Pics of new gauge and dash in process of cleanup. Also took off the lower front grill to check on the Hydraulic pump and found leaking hose which I replaced. I figure I scraped off about 57 years of acclimated dirt, oil and brush off the unit. Steam washing it and then some paint. Even greased the U joint for he hydraulic pump drive shaft. I doubt that has ever been done. Having a blast with her.

Thanks Cal

I've had her out and pushed brush and a little bit of fence row cleanup and she is great to run. Happy to have sorted out all the leaks and most of the electrics.

Thank you. I've had her a year now and spend as much time as I can working on her but only have weekends. Spent this first year getting her running good, steering and braking much better, fixed all leaks that I can find, repaired all broken steel like the exhaust manifold, and battery boxes, dumped all oils and coolant, replaced all filters, batteries, many broken wires, bled system and now working on the perfume and makeup. Love every minute I get to spend working on the tractor.
