J Woke up last week with a thought of making a tractor ornament at the entrance to my farm. Found this WD (lower case blown) on its way to being stripped and sent to the junk yard. Drove 6 hours round trip and secured her. Going to set her up and do some landscaping around. Question… What can I do to make it weatherproof? Clear coat on the paint? Anything to solidfy the tires?

just rub some oil into the paint and that should help... lots of old tractors setting in the weeds for 50 years and still have some paint on them... redo the oil every couple years ?? Them rear tires look like KEEPERS ?? ... They make stuff to spray on tires to make them black and resist sun light... Dont know if that helps long term or not .... setting concrete blocks under the rear pans might help to keep the weight off the tires. ------------- Like them all, but love the "B"s. |

Interesting. We wanted to do similar with a F30 that was rescued from neighboring farm and was originally from my grandmothers farm and we have a picture of her on it as a teenager
