O face lift
 
7 Attachment(s)
Wasn't going to do anything with the old O. But along comes Sam Mac with his cosmetic refresh O project, looking all gleaming and all, and I couldn't resist jumping on the band wagon.:biggrin2:
Truthfully this old O has been around the block a time or three. But really not in the worst condition I've ever had the honor of working on. Looks rather rough around the edges, but there is a light down near the center.
Started tearing into it yesterday by removing the engine. Today got some of the tractor disassembled.
Plans for the tractor are just a face lift, not full blown restore. Clean up the engine, install new gaskets throughout. (Thanks Lew) Wheel bushings, new tires, do something with the spindles:bigthink:, rear gaskets, seals, correct rims and new tires. Oh, and paint:biggrin2:
I'm sure there are a few things I forgot, or haven't run into yet, but will sometime or another.
My turn around time isn't as fast as most of you on a tractor, so this might go on for some time. Enough :BlahBlah: onto the pictures.

Looks good Todd. Enjoy having the garage doors open now cause in a few weeks the white stuff will be blowing around. Now I'm gonna sit back and watch ya save another one.:beerchug:

If that is what you got done in 1 day, then I think you did a great job at being efficient. Looks like a true labor of love and my vote is that you will be doing more to it than what you stated once you start really diggin' in.

I'm sorry, didn't mean to start a new project for you. Looks great so far and will probably look better than my O does when your done. :beerchug:

Good luck on the restoration, Todd. Looking forward to your updates.

Nice work so far Todd! Be careful. Before you know it, you may take the whole fleet apart! :bigeyes:
