Finally progress on Landlord

[GWGAllisfan 159]

After several false starts, (It seemed like there was always something that kept me from having time over the holidays) I finally got to start on the dissasembly of the landlord so I could begin the refurbishment project. Notice the expansive fully dedicated to tractoring shop area! :D Here's the before from the front side:

And from the rear:

I'd already tinkered on tryind a wire brush on the seat deck and painting with chevy orange DE-1607:

About 90 minutes of dissasembly:

Once I get it to just rolling chassis I plan to try to it wash it good, then decide the best method for paint removal.

Randy, Looks good!! I am finally getting back to tractors after getting my generator like I want it. Started building up my 914 Hydro Tuesday after a long delay- BTW I am planning on attending the gathering since I have a more reliable & bfuel efficient truck now... Brent

Nice Start! I should photo document my tear downs.

[GWGAllisfan 159]

Thanks I hope to have it looking much better soon. I photographed it a lot so I could remember how it went together/ came apart. Maybe that will help in the re-assembly.

looks like your off to a great start!

Disassembly finished today. It looks like this now [img]/club2/attach/Gwgallisfan/100_0924_BGB_trans.jpg[/img] [img]/club2/attach/Gwgallisfan/100_0926_box_parts.jpg[/img] [img]/club2/attach/Gwgallisfan/100_0920_frame.jpg[/img] There was grease caked everywhere. I took it to the car wash as a rolling chassis, which helped but there was still a lot of work left for the engine degreaser spray and the wire brush. I just have to figure out what final paint prep method to use and get started on re-assembly. As I took it apart it appears someone repainted it at some point. under the faded red, almost pink paint, was the original red-orange.

Looks like your into it deep now. I'd say you shouldda taken the degreaser to the car wash with you, though some of them don't like that.

[GWGAllisfan 159]

Made a little more progress today. Got a few of the bigger parts cleaned and painted while it was such a warm day. Still a long way to go, but as long as progress is made it will get there. I have to hurry before I forget how it all goes together.

Back on the wheels...well almost. [img]/club2/attach/GWGALLISFAN/100_1025_on wheels.jpg[/img] Spend several hours with wire brush, sander and scrapers and got several more parts paint stripped, and re-coated. This upper dash support was a real pain. The pits in the metal were cleaned out, but they still show..It's under the gas tank so it won't ever be seen [img]/club2/attach/GWGALLISFAN/100_1026_Dash_mount.jpg[/img] I need to get the tires off the rear wheels so i can paint them, then decide what tires to use. I have three of the old goodyears rear tires, but they are really showing age and would need tubes. The front's on it are definitely non stock, but I think I want to go with some narrow fronts. Open for opinions.

[MPH 12]

Nice progress Randy. Front tires= = = = Tri-ribs, ie, tractor tires. As for the pitting, they way I see it, that's just part of these old tractors heritage. Figure they earnd them pits by surviving someones abuse and still stong enough to fix up and do more work.

Looks like you're making good progress. Keep it up!
