How do you spend over $8,000 to restore a G?

I saw that, too. Optical illusion I suppose. I'd hate to speculate on how much it cost me to get mine painted nice, no shinny paint job, just painted !

Sure looks like rear wheel is crocked. And if he hired all work done and it was completely overhauled it could get expensive!

All I see is maybe, and I mean , MAYBE, $1500 in rubber and paint. I'd have to see the bills for the other $6500 that was 'spent'.

I sent my G engine out to be baked, hot tanked, bored, crank shaft ground, new piston, new bearings, new valves, and I assembled it when I go it home. Shop bill a tad over 1100.00 . Four new tires with tubes. 300.00. I also needed new brake shoes and one axle with bearings. That cost is not coming to mind. If I would have hired every thing done as shown in my pictures it might have cost a more than a coupla hundred with paint to only have 1500 out of pocket. That does not count the 1100.00 that I paid for the tractor.

Maybe that G is one of those rare units designed for the big wheat farms out west or a tobacco farm in the Appalations.
