Nice Original, dkish! Thanks for sharing your pics. :beerchug:

Way to go dkish :ThumbsUp: Glad to hear you got it running.

Congrats dkish! :High5:

Gotta luv it, cause it's an :IH Logo:!!

Good job getting it running!

dkish,

Nice find. Great way to start out... at the beginning with an O. :beerchug: I think that once you spend some time with her you will be fixing the deck just to get in some more time using it. :biggrin2.gif:

i will post more pictures later this week after i degrease and steam clean this ol girl. i like to make most repairs and get everything working before i tear down for restoration, but i must say, i kinda like the way it looks wearing its work clothes! i think it was parked long ago because of a center deck bearing failure. i added a quart of diff lube because it was low, and i wanted to stir things up a bit before changing the fluid. now i have oil running out the lower left center of the rear end. ill have to track it down and see why its leaking.
a guick thanks for all the info i have received on this forum.:beerchug:
