First thing to get is a digital camera! Take a zillion pictures at every step of the dismantling,save onto computer and back them ALL up. If you don't ,that one picture you can't find will hold the clus has to just how the devil this fits onto that !!!
Second , find a forum or two that's specific to your make of gardem tractor.The more online friends you can find the better,,afterall you're not the first to restore a garden tractor.
Third,find and buy any DOA 'dead on axle' similar tractors for parts.Going to the store to buy new,old parts can lead to heart attacks
Fourth, build an electrolysis tank,bigger the better.Mine's a plastic 45 gallon drum. Great to get rid of rust,old paint,grime,etc.Cheaper,cleaner,than sandblasting,works overnight while you're sleeping too!
Fifth,please take the tires off the rims.Use #4 to get the rims in great shape,then primer and paint them.Nothing worse than seeing overspray on tires,in my opinion.
I could go on......oh yeah, take pictures of it going back together.
