Looks great! Now you just gotta get that loader on it without scratching the paint!

Thanks guys! My good friend Terry painted it piece by piece in his paint booth with omni PPG 60080. The tractor should leave his garage this weekend weather permitting. I bought the tractor from my great aunt. My great uncle bought it new in 1958. A very fun project thanks to Terry!

I hate you for not scratching it up putting the side shields on!

Here is the before photo.
This was the mechaical restoration. Added power steering and fixed leaks.
Also the guy who overhauled the engine put the thrust bearings is the wrong spot.
So we had way to much end play and shifting issues. Fixed all of that along with a
huge landury list.
Then we Split it to fix a few things.
Then we tore it all apart. Always the easy part.
Then the primer went on. First a lot of sanding with rice cakes. Steve did not like that part. I did a lot of watching at this stage.
Paint is next. 
Back to the shop side. Feeling better at this stage of the project. Lots and lots of hours.
Neat project to work on. We kept it as close to original as possible.
Steve did add some of his own touches or options as he likes to say.
Now he has to help me finish my tractor.
