The oil is easy to explain, there's doublesided sticky velcro holding it on. I want to know what kind of tires are on the tractor and the Dodge van as those tires have grip like I've never seen (being able to hold a vehicle upside down on concrete, just think of how they would do on snow & ice!) LOL.

I had to do a second take of that van. I had a '72 Ford van that was yellow like that one and I had a brown strip painted on the sides and back of it. So it was one of a kind. Then here's a Dodge very similar but the brown stripe on mine stopped below the windows.

Just look at the picture on your computer. If it is upside down, open it with Microsoft photo viewer and rotate it 90 degree twice. When you close MPV it will ask if you want to save changes to the picture, click yes.
If you have specific questions on a restoration, ask and you will probably get good answers. The paint should be Persian Orange 1 and is available from AGCO or many use PPG 60080.

Here is a picture I saved from this forum. I don't know who's tractor it is or who posted it, but it is a great looking restoration. The only thing that I see that might not look exactly original is the seat cover. I believe they were a khaki green.
