 Topic: as if I needed something else o do...
Posted: 04 Apr 2011 at 8:40pm |
I took my C up to dad's last week, so he would have something fairly reliable to put the garden in with. I also brought home his C, which was originally my grandfathers. Bought new in 1950. C#81309. Engine #CE130201G.
It needs a ton of work. Good news is the engine is in geat shape. Has excellent compression. Bad news is everything around it is either completely worn out or rusted off of it. I have already patched several pin holes inthe TOP of te gas tank, and am slowly moving on to other mechanical issues. It's gonna take some time, but it will be like new when i'm done. Wish me luck.

Also, sorry about the dark pictures, it was late, and the camera's not too good. Tractor doesn't look any better in the daylight. though. LOL!

Lloyd, those would be for mounted cotton planters. They're still out in the shed at the farm, but they're rusted out worse than the tractor.(fertilizer hoppers were filled standing on the final drives, there was apparently some spilage, thus the excessive rust). The sprockets are on the outside because we turned the wheels around to get the tractor on the trailer.

Bad thing is, I had already cleaned up some, so I could get the tractor in.

Finall, a contest that I might win, a cluttered shop contest! Dream that shop looks very well organized to me, because I would bet money you can go right to where something is an find it! If someone came in and cleaned it you would never find a thing until you had purchased it;s replacement at least once!!!!

That shop is clean. You've still got room to walk in there.

Brent, being that the C has always been in the family will make it even better to get it restored.

LOL! I think we really do need a messiest shop contest. I usually start cleaning up when I run out of room to sit things down without having to sit them on top of something that is already sitting on top of something else.LOL!

I can understand Shameless your point of view. Had one shed to work on things till it got so full I barely had a path so I went and built a bigger one. Now there both full.

I see how this can happen guys. The thought has crossed my mind that if I just built another, bigger shop, I would't need to move the stuff that's in the "little" one. I would have all of the storage space that I would ever need. And so it begins.....
