Wide Frame "148" restore
 

Ok guys here it goes. This is my first rebuild on any of my tractors as I like them original as much as possible. With that being said I did some horse trading to LiamD for a 128 w/no motor for a complete 124. I wanted a gear drive to put a k321 in for plowing and field work. Hence the name "148". The tractor had lots of problems from the PO. before LiamD.This is the first pic I got before the trac. was completely torn apart.

Taking it down to the frame is a great way to fix all the PO mods.:beerchug: Looking forward to your progress and updates!

Here are some pics after the sandblasting

Sorry I didn't get any of the hood. Although EVERYTHING was sandblasted outside or in the blasting cab.

Looks like a cool project! I always wondered why they never made a gear drive 14 HP. I'm going to be following this thread, thinking a 146 would be cool:bigthink:

I just thought about that today. Why no 14 HP gear drive? Weird.

pics look good. keep at it.

nice work, keep it up and spare no details my brother is making a 146 :beerchug:

Looking good! Please keep the pics and updates coming.

Nice work brentwd :ThumbsUp:

The fenders and the hood had alot of rust pitting and I spent alot of time finish sanding them to get rid of it.
