Not all today but over last weekend. Got the wheels that I blasted and painted a couple weeks ago wrapped with new rubber and installed on the freshly painted frame. Got everything painted and wait for it to cure and for some free time to start the assembly. Really starting to come together.

Very Nice!! Are those Firestone tri ribs on the front?:bigthink:

Yes they are. Love the look but some guys at work told me they will tear up my lawn. Time will tell I guess.

They've never tore up my yard.

I put a set of good wheels and tires I had from a 1641 and put them on the 100 DieselDoctor gave me so I could move it by pushing it. The tires that were on it leaked faster than my air compressor could fill them. :biggrin2:

This tractor will be my next project.

Good luck with your 100 project. :ThumbsUp:

Working on beater 122

Replaced the rusted seat with a Agri-Supply padded pan seat. Good buy for $31. (NC folks will know Agri Supply).

Installed hitch pin in the tow ball platform on the rear end and used it to drag the yard cart around and get up branches scattered by Michael

Found a couple hours that were free so did a little more work on the 105. The grill screen was missing and the only replacements I found were some what pricy so I made one. I think it looks good not like the original but the price was right, Free!.

I set the dash and hood on to see how they looked. They only have one coat of paint. For some reason they look very white in the photo must be the lights. The color is the off white I got from the dealer. I wet sanded and got another coat on them.

So on to the motor. I made up a stand to bolt it to and put it on a cart to start cleaning it up. I started to take off the tins and other bits. I learned a couple of things. The drive cup is very easy to break and they are expensive! I looked online and found some new ones and couldn't believe what they want for them. I did find a good used one for 40 bucks so I ordered it. Got a head gasket and some other gaskets to. So fast forward to tonight. I was out moving some stuff around in the shed and guess what I found in a box of parts I got with the 3 cubs I bought, that's right a perfectly good drive cup! That is how my luck goes. Oh well I have a spare for the next project.
