Following! My dad restored many tractors over the years, with John Deere being his favorite. He would have loved to follow your work on this piece of history!
That’s great. I would have loved to have the knowledge that I’m sure your dad did for this. By me doing it and posting it on here, I’m trying to share knowledge and process with others to keep the hobby alive.
I agree, Cody! Thanks! He said it turned over a year ago so I’m hoping I can free it up without getting too crazy. I’ll probably try and pull the head soon to get a look in there.
That's a big time project, but once you finish it you will feel good about saving another tractor. Can't wait to see what you do with this tractor. Thank you for helping out that gentleman. I know he will definitely appreciate your time and effort. 🚜 👍
Thanks Hyatt! This one needs a lot of love. Many things on the tractor are seized up, so I'll definitely be putting my abilities to the test. Eldon, the previous owner, just wanted to make sure that it went to someone who would not scrap it and would give it some love. If I can get it running again in some reasonable amount of time, I'd love to take it back to his farm and let him drive it around.
Hi Noel! I'm hoping it's not too bad to get everything freed up. Eldon stated it turned over a year ago, and we don't get that much rain in Colorado, so fingers crossed! Thanks buddy!
