Good eye! Nice steering wheel. I think most people don't know the true meaning of restore or overhauled. The real word should be "Detail for Retail"

The silver detailed breather and overspray on the tires should be warning signs :)

I know a guy who restored his tractor in one weekend, I'm just not that efficient. I've been working on my WF for over a month and it will be another month before it's done, and it was in very nice original condition when I started. It all comes down to what you want out of it, a nice restoration or just a paint job.

sure looks like the front axle has been reworked to raise it up a couple inches, and narrow it a couple inches. the tie rod looks to be curved more that normal also. IT is a stock arch axle, but has been "reworked". Rear brakes are in backward as you said. Factory original paint, aint.

Like them all, but love the "B"s.

That puppy must really be on a slow boat. Mine is in about 100 pieces right now, I'm tearing into the final drives right now to replace all the gaskets and check the bearings. I'd hate to get it all done and have it dripping on the floor the first time I drive it. I rebuilt the bushings and checked the bearings in the front end so everything up there will be real nice and the motor is done so it will start going back together before too long.
