What do you think of my 1937 Waukesha B? Do you think this can brought back from dead? Serial number 94.

Now that is a before picture if I ever saw one! Based on your IB post, I bet this is going to be one sharp tractor when you finish. Please post pictures as you work on it. It looks like a fun project.

It can be done, and certainly deserves the effort. Do you have more pics? |

Yes I think this tractor ran when parked but that was 20 years ago and was found at and old dealer that was out of busing and the tractor was stored in an old chicken house so you can see what that does to one also some one removed the radiator for what i do not know. I have more photos of the rebuild but will have to get my son back to show me how to load them on this forum.

Robbers steal them vintage radiators for the copper in them. Those skunks got every old one there was at a friends farm. Some of them they just hacked the cores out with axes and left the rest.

It's never too late for a Wauk. It'll take deep pockets, but it will be worth it. Keep us posted.
