Finally got the last oil leak fixed and had it out in the sunshine before bringing it home from my buddy’s shop:    Time to have some fun with it and start arranging parts for the next project: 1991 MR2 Turbo that I have owned since May of 1990 (my first new car). Thankfully, it just needs a heart transplant rather than a nut-and-bolt restoration.   ------------- An optimist sees the glass as half full. The pessimist sees the glass as half empty.

Thanks! I'm planning to have it at the GOTO in Union Grove, WI this year. Thre's a whole lot of Summer between now and then so I'll probably do a few more things too. I just haven't marked up the calendar yet. ------------- An optimist sees the glass as half full. The pessimist sees the glass as half empty.

Really nice job, they are such a good small tractor. Perkins diesel made them a spectacular tractor. My friends has almost 8,000 hours on it. It is still his primary rake tractor on his 400 +acres hay farm. Not too many still around, or for sale. ------------- 1968 B-208, 1976 720 (2 of them)Danco brush hog, single bottom plow,52" snow thrower, belly mower,rear tine tiller, rear blade, front blade, 57"sickle bar,1983 917 hydro, 1968 7hp sno-bee, 1968 190XTD |

Unless something unexpected happens, it will be in Union Grove. The shop I did all the work at is just North of there. ------------- An optimist sees the glass as half full. The pessimist sees the glass as half empty. The engineer sees a glass with double the required capacity. |
