Well It's that time of year again. I'm all caught up on most of my other projects, so I got a little ambition after work today, Got the garage all cleaned up and organized. I got the Big 10 all apart, She came apart very nice the BGB need a little attention and the front shaft on the hydro-lift need to be resealed . I think a set of Ags on the rear and some tri-ribs on the front will look good ,Pics of progress will follow. I love these old round hooded tractors.I think she's going to come out real nice:D:D:D Then she'll be good for another 43 years.Wish me luck












I got a the tranny done today , I took the axle out and replaced all the keys ,They were pretty worn. I started on the grill too.








Slow but still going


I,m still trying to get this thing done .But some of my other tractors have been misbehaving taking my time away from this project . I did manage to get the front wheel painted and the tri ribs mounted and the decals are here too . I should be making some more progress this week




Got some more done today, Started out with the motor.Found quite the mouse nest. Good thing I haven't run the engine very long. Took a bunch of parts over to work and had a pressure washing field day . Got A lot done for one day. She should be coming together soon.






Getting there, Picked up the Ags today .I still got the big parts to paint




Ok I got some more tractor time in today . She's coming together nicely I did make one mistake ,The front end transplant isn't going to cut it It's to new , there's no camber on the wheels and no spindle stops .So I got new spindle bushings and I'm going to fix the original front end Here's some more pics of todays progress . Everything is finally painted :D






Well Guy's Almost done !!! :D I just got to Put the fluids in and fix up the original front end and some small details. I have to give it rest for a little while and give my wife some attention .She's very understanding about tractor time :D

Is there an article that describes this BGB resealing procedure? I don't think that was ever written up and posted . Anyone? Lookin' good, FastPaul! Tacey

      Hello glad I got on this site. I hope to upload a couple of photos of my Simplicity Broadmoor 
      Model 707 Tractor. I have replaced all the belts on it and installed a new ignition switch.
      Have a mower deck which was in poor shape , repaced a couple of bushings and welded the
      deck where there was some holes. The tractor and mower deck came from a friend and the 
      mower deck metal was getting pretty thin. Some new metal was put in it and we also undercoated the underside of the deck. This was done by my friend Greg Toulman.
      I have not put the mower deck on the tractor yet, waiting for Greg to come home and give me a hand. Can you please tell me if there is a manual for the mower deck and where I could get one.
      I would also like to get some moon wheel discs as well.
      I will try and down load some photos of the tractor when my wife shows me how to. 
      I really love driving this tractor and also how well it is made compare today's tractors, especially the flexible rear end and the rollers.
      Tell the next time 
      Paul
