Added the rare 3 point hitch option, custom rear axle, new exhaust stack, full repaint, and fused the 2 halves of the tractor together to make it one solid piece.

I have about 4 hours in it.

It was a lot of fun. I'll definitely be looking for more wore out toy tractors in the future to fix back up. I like to restore and look more realistic, not so much on the overuse of "extras" just for the sake of adding extra parts.

lady: Hello! I don't know if anyone would be able to help me out or not, but I am looking for a John Deere 1/64 Scale 714 Chisel Plow 15 Shank. We are Hog Farmers, and this fall was our middle son's 1st Year chisel plowing with that particular implement! Dec 8, 2016 8:25:20 GMT -5

jmsales: Hello, we are interested in the 1/64 New Holland bale mover, does someone make these if so can they be purchased. Apr 22, 2017 19:55:22 GMT -5

mmccann: I’m looking for a small (5-6 inches long) “matchbox” size-ish welder truck painted red. My wife’s father died last year and his occupation was welder. He always drove red trucks. Could you make one and have it to be by Christmas? Nov 24, 2018 12:52:05 GMT -5
