What do you think about the "Fry Farms" touch? We have a centruy farm here in Missouri, and I thought it was a neat touch...

Excellent job! Is Leroy the tractors name, or your grampas? Thanks for sharing, and I think it's great that you have the pride in your familys accomplishments to memorialize it on the tractor. Not many have held on to the family farm for that long.

I didn't do it! It was a short, fat, tall, skinny guy that looked like me!

looks great. The WC's are one of my favorites. All it needs is the knob on gearshift lever. I like farm decals to.

I named the tractor "Leroy" after my grandpa. It was his, he left it to me when he died, and it sat in the barn for years. I was about to sell it, even had it loaded up to deliver and something made me think twice. I am sure glad I didn't! I have my own little guy now and someday it will be his to drive; he has already taken his first ride! I wanted to say thanks to everyone on here that helped me with all the questions I had during the rebuild you guys are the best!

Very nice.
I got my 47 WC from my grandpa too in the will. It'll never be sold.
I like your push button starter. Never seen one like that on a WC before.

Another vote for the Fry Farms decals. I'm working toward doing that nice of a job on my D17D. Your grandpa is surely proud...

Super job Josh. Thinking to add the farm name and to do it in the style you did is a great touch. A real standout!

Very NICE job, I had to get my sun glass's, I'll bet it didn't look that nice when it was new. I'll also bet it would bring a tear to Grandpa's eye.

Great looking tractor. You should be proud of how it turned out. I like the farm name decals. Leroy is a good name for it.
