The 100 build begins
 

Figured I would start a new thread for this. My other post tells the tale of how I ended up with the 100. My son and I decided even though its not the O that we wanted, it's worth refurbishing anyway. So we started on it tonight. Worked for an hour before dinner then another hour after his homework was finished. Found an old battery eye down below the steering while we were in there. Here's our progress so far.

Looks good so far, now, for our necks and eyeballs, you have to get the pictures oriented correctly, I am not sure oriented is the proper politically correct word though...
BTW your are just a boy, or is that a stand in?

LOL. That's my son. Ill try to fix the pics

Are you sure? I think you are the boy in the picture.

Please. Do tell, What makes you think that?

Gotcha! I was just seeing what you say.
Anyway keep us updated on your progress.

Nice to see you involve your son. Just remember, he might get his hands dirty! :biggrin2:

I like those diamond tread turfs!
In the other pics I see the valve stem on the outside.
Are they CC or JD rims?

I see Miller Tire sells a 6-12 Bridgestones 4-ply like those for $144 each.

Good start Coop.:beerchug:
Good thing your boy is there to supervise, and to make sure the task at hand is done correctly.:biggrin2: Does he have a name, or is it Boy?:bigthink:
Nice seeing the young, take interest.:ThumbsUp:

Nice project. Keep us posted on your steps and progress.

I think t they are JD rims. I like them also except that they seem on the small side

Its Boy! When he's in trouble. Its Kevin the rest of the time. Yup, he loves these tractors. He has his heart set on taking one to a show. Problem is there really are not many tractor shows around here.

Lol. He was planning on it! He told me he used the last of the gojoe before we started and I better get more he said. I showed him dawn works also. Lol

Coop, you and Kevin are getting a good start on restoring the 100. It is nice to see that your son is taking a real interest in helping you. You two will have many good memories of your time spent together on the project. Many of today's young people only seem to take an interest in video games and spending time on the computer.

Nice work so far but I think we need to take up a collection and buy Kevin a proper hat so he can get rid of that flat billed gangsta hat.:biggrin2:

He's got a "collection" of hats. Just about all of them are college sports teams. I had to set the rules for hats last year when he tried to wear one sideways.. I told him hes allowed to wear it straight forwards or straight backwards. No sideways or tilt allowed.. EVER! lol. But he can wear any style he wants so long as theres no stupid or rude statements on them.

Thanks Roland! Will do:beerchug:

He likes doing that also. I am happy however that I rarely have to tell him to get off the computer or X-box. He would always rather be outside on his bike or doing something with a tractor. I probably have the cleanest old tractors around. For awhile he was constantly washing them. I hated to ask him to stop and had to tell him its not always a good thing to constantly wash them. He understood this when I told him to grease them all! lol

At least put the Dawn in the Gojo bottle.

With some sand = lower Alabama GoJo

After I use gojo i often use dawn to get the rest off.. I have yet to use a hand soap for grease that works any better than dawn,

You and your son keep up the good work! Looking forward to your progress.

Thanks man! I dare not show him your smoker.. He will want one of those next!

Well, we didn't expect this. Busted steering box. We will be looking for a good replacement. Looks like PO tried to cobble it once. Almost glad we hit this speed bump. Shows my son no matter what. Plan for the unexpected.

It happens, a nice 3 turn off a 1211 will do wonders for the ease of steering.
They are the same length as the broken one.

3 turn is the way to go especially if it's gonna be a worker.

Thanks guys. That what we will do then. So my son wouldn't let me drive the shaft pin out. He insisted he do that and the axle pin. I let him use a little heat and he got them out

Good to see your progress. :ThumbsUp:

Thanks, As long as his homework gets done I agreed to at least an hour a night. He would love to do everything all in one night but I have to keep slowing him down a little. He was nervous when he saw the steering box. He thought maybe it would be hard to get a new one.

These are the times of your life. Enjoy.

Have fun! And keep up the pics :)

Sorry, but I have to do this.

^^^^ lol... but.... its okay its inline on his head not cocked in any way. Even a lot of MLB players are no longer curving their bills. And not to mention he is wrenching on a cub... he'll be just fine :beerchug:

Dawn is the only soap the well driller uses, by the case. Down in the hole with everything. It fluffs up the dirt with the water. Blow it out with pressure all the way down to 200'. Mike:biggrin2:

Ok, we gotta stop picking on Coop's kid. That's the style these days and believe me when I say there was some stuff in the 90's I think back on and just shake my head about. Hopefully some rapper will start curving his bill so I can be cool again.:biggrin2: I've been wearing a hat like a religion for over twenty years and this is what a perfectly curved bill should look like.:biggrin2:

Lol.. and you wanted to take up a collection for Kevin's hats???
20 years is a long time for anything. Time for a new one:biggrin2:

This hat isn't 20yrs old, Its about 1yr old and use to be dark blue.

Never heard of hobby king.. Is that RC stuff?

So.. knocking out pins for clutch pedal and rod. Is this hole stock? Its coinvienent but does not look stock.. what do you guys think?

There are access holes made into the frame to be able to remove the roll pins. Is that the one you’re referring to?
