Got a few things in the mail today I'm Still waiting on the decals'seat and axle tube bushings,at least I have half a tractor!!

Seat decals add axle tube bushings came in today.It took a while to figure the seat out,It's not quite the same as the one that came off. the fenders were a little pitted ,the seat pans going to take a lot of work . One more day closer!

Well guy's 32 day's and a lot of hours its almost done I just have to tie up some loose ends I'm waiting on the muffler ,the PTO from AC Killer and some fine tuning looks ptetty nice don't ya think?

Man, you don't waste any time. Looks like that one is going to turn out pretty nice as well. Just noticing that bench top. Is that stainless?

Thanks Jonn, Yes it is stainless,18 feet x36" the stair treads and other misc.stuff around the garage too.That was one of my projects a couple of years ago.

Good start, I got to get going on mine of of these days. I wanted to get it done before mowing season starts. Elon

I'd say that's about as stripped down as you gonna get. You just jump right after them don't you Paul.

I must be doing something wrong because it took me all afternoon to remove the running boards, then do a rough sand and prime job on the frame of my MF16. Last time I came that close to a complete dissasembly of an AC was my B10. That has been in the works for over 6 months. Do you sandblast these to bare metal?

Elon..................you might get to that in 2009, if you don't forget about.....lol

Thanks Chris I haven't sandblasted annything yet ,But the seat pan on this one might need to be.I have a 3300p.s.i. preasure washer hot with a turbo tip ,it's so strong itwill take decals and a lot of paint off, It's a big time saver.

Looks like you are getting off to a nice start.

Paul, you don`t waste no time. Looks great.

This is going to be great, if Paul keeps posting his restoration project step by step!!!!!

[comet66 0]

As always, that looks great. I just can't figure out where you find all this time. I'm retired and still can't keep up with all my regular chores, let alone spend the shop time I would like to. Keep up the excellent work, we all love your pictures. Even though you make us look bad.
