Havent been posting since the mid-summer so now i figured it was time to post some of my current projects. some are tractor related some aren't. Today I started to get the 725 ready for snow plowing duties this winter. :D Here is the 725: [IMG]http://img403.imageshack.us/img403/3805/imag1750.jpg[/IMG] It has been sitting for almost a year and had really bad gas in it. I drained the gas and put a little fresh gas in it to rinse the rest of the old gas out and then drained that. then i topped it off with new gas with fuel stablizer (the blueish-green marine formula stuff). I also greased the heck out of it. im thinking of waxing it tommorow for protection against the rain and snow during the winter. Here it is with the 46" plow mounted (sorry for fuzzy pictures, it was getting dark and i took these with my cell phone): [IMG]http://img853.imageshack.us/img853/7452/imag1751.jpg[/IMG]

This week I plan on getting the snow fleet in order and digging into my hydro-lift pump and pistion. It needs to be fixed and rebuilt. It has already snowed and i have all my mower decks on and the snow fleet in hybernation still!!! XX(:O This is what i worked on most of the summer tho... My Tudor Sedan. 8) Its gonna be a 100% stock summertime daily driver(im a purist). Its not gonna be a 400 point judging car but it will be "visualy" attractive! Not bad for a 19 year old huh? :D [IMG]http://img37.imageshack.us/img37/8362/imag1667e.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/3628/imag1665.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img651.imageshack.us/img651/8504/imag1666.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img818.imageshack.us/img818/3628/imag1665.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img443.imageshack.us/img443/1202/imag1664j.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://img15.imageshack.us/img15/3267/imag1671.jpg[/IMG] I still have a few things on the chassis to restore over the winter but put them on so we could test the drivetrain we rebuilt before the winter. The body is going to be painted this winter, if not, it will be painted by the spring. I hope the car is done by April or even earlier!!! :p The link in my signature has more info and pics! Please please please, let me know what you guys think. comments and suggestions are always appreciated! ;)

I'm in love with that 725 of yours, I'm looking for one to add to my collection. Your Ford is way cool, I'm a car guy myself and I love the old stuff.

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
