Here she is when she arrived
Here she is waiting for new shoes
Brian Sherman is doing the paint work, painting the rear rims and centers and starting on the black has already made quite a change in how it looks.
It looks like Christmas around here, boxes everywhere LOL! A new grill shell and screen, a complete interior kit, a new seat, some new lights and all the filters, along with other stuff, and more on the way! Got a new radio antenna, will see if the orginal radio can get more than one station, also picked up a rain cap for the exhaust. When it comes home we will get started changing fluids and doing some mechanical work and then start on the paint again.
Brian has been working on it after his after school job at the body shop. My other "hired hand" Andrew Johnston works at the local John Deere dealer after school, then comes to the farm. They're both out of school for spring break next week and will be doing oil changes and getting equipment ready for spring while I'm stuck at work. Both boys are high school seniors and and have natural mechanical ability, I'm very lucky to have them around!
They both are active in FFA, motorcyclists and old tractor enthusiasts. Brian has his grandfathers M nicely painted and well kept. Andrew loves ACs, probably from alll the tractor shows his dad and I use to take him to, or the fact he's been running ACs since he was 10 years old. Now the boys are taking tractors to shows on their own.
They're really excited about this 8070 and can't wait to get it in the field and stir some dirt, and I finally get to use the 8050 for my planting tractor. LOL
