3 Digit “O"
 

Here are some pictures of my 3 digit “O" serial #653. I bought this tractor back in March of this year. Tractor was described as “restored" and it was far from it in my opinion. So off to Lima, OH it went in April to a friend of mine to be RESTORED!!! He has restored countless antique cars and tractors and his work has made several newspapers and magazines over the years. He has also done several items that have been displayed in museums. My wife and I attended this years Red Power Roundup in Lima, OH Wednesday thru Friday and picked up the “O" this morning and headed home. So I thought after I got it unloaded I would take a few pics to share with everyone.

The O looks awesome Martin!:beerchug:
Thanks for dropping me presents off also!

Thanks Mike!! No problem, was nice to take a different route for once across OH. I hope everything looked good

Yeah, everything looked great!:beerchug:

Few more pics...I came across this early seat pan without a single dent, crack, or repair anywhere!!

Sweet!!:beer2:

That thar is a darn purdy machine.

Outstanding! Looks so different to see the O without a S/G, but not needed with a recoil. Thanks for sharing the neat pics.

Cub Cadet 123

Thanks guys!!!:beerchug:

And more pictures of when I went to look at it on Wednesday....

Your O looks awesome, Martin!

Thanks Allen!!!

Very nice Martin!! Good to see you made it home safe with the O! :biggrin2:

I think I need to take the 71 to see your buddy :bigthink:!

Thanks Eric!!

You wouldn't be disappointed that's for sure:beerchug:

Your "0" looks very good. Did your "guy" do the complete restore, start to finish?
Nice work:beerchug:

Boy that's a nice looking piece...thanks for sharing it. How hard is it to start a pull starter Cub?

Take a bow, that thing really rocks

Look'n real sweet there Martrin! Good to see you had nice weather to and from Red Power with that precious load! Now you need a lighted glass show case to keep it in! :bigthink::biggrin2:

Thank you! Yes he did the entire restore. The tractor was completely tore down not a bolt, nut, pin or anything that wasn't removed.

Thanks!! It is actually very easy to pull start this it starts on the first pull every time:beerchug:

Thanks Bill!! The weather couldn't of been better. The glass case is a good idea!!:biggrin2:

Looks sharp!!! Congrats

Great looking tractor. Your buddy does great work. Looks like it was restored with love. Thanks for the pics and for your delivery to Mikes for EricR and I.

Thanks for the compliment! I wondered who those parts were for:bigthink: I hope you can get good use out of them:beerchug:

Very nice. I want one.
