What I've been working on lately. So far I've did everything myself inhouse except for paint. My Dad did the painting, basically because he has more experience. I picked it up in the middle of October and today started putting it back together. The day I got them.   Tear down. Looking towards the back  Big ol R  Operators station   Hopefully I remember how this goes together... Took enough pictures   Made myself some custom parts bins!  Redneck steering wheel!  Operators station stripped off  Washed off. Took about half hour-hour to degrease and wash, still not pleased.   Draining fuel...  I took the flywheel cover on to repair a small hole in the bottom, and removed the fuel tank to open up more space for painting.   Back of the dash. I don't think any of the guages except for the oil pressure where hooked up. I need to find a wiring diagram.   Next... Sandblasting  Just after paint  Did some tire work... Before  After  I don't have picture of putting it back together on my computer yet. I'll probably do that tommorow. Any questions or comment welcome as always... Unless it's 2 years down the road. Don't comment then. |

Awesome work Dallas! Boy you are moving right along with your restoration projects. I've owned my '37 Model A Deere for over a year and don't even have it running yet! Again! Great work!

Planning on making a rock pile and sitting her in the front yard! The other one not sure yet. I'm trying to find parts to rebuild it, but can't find anything (If anyone knows where to get pistons, rings, etc.. for these PM me). If I can get parts and still have room to make money I'll sell it. Besides the engine being stuck, I think the other one is a better tractor. Few more options that you don't come across to often, less seized parts, less tin to straighten.

At the risk of bumping a thread and pissing people off...
That looks really good man! If I can ever get a shop or garage I'd like to rebuild something someday.

At the risk of bumping a thread and pissing people off... I think you run a higher risk of running into a guy with no sense of humor...  As the cool cats would say, "That just happened." |

Lmao, by all joking aside. It looks great. I enjoy seeing someone else restoring these old machines, instead of calling them scrap.

Thanks for the kind words guys.
