Got any pics of what it looked like when you started? Would love to see the transformation
Yeah, sorry about that guys. I wish I had some. We were so gung-ho to get started that we had it torn apart before we got any pictures. I can tell you this much. The tractor was completely torn down to every individual piece and each part was stripped of paint and rust with angle grinders. Wish I had a sand blaster for that part! The rim of the fiberglass dash (where the hood overlaps) had to be rebuilt with fiberglass and bond. It was all broken off. Rear of the fend was bent in (aren't they all) and we had to straighten that back out. I replaced all the drive components between the engine and the hydro. Also had to have the trunnion welded up, so I replaced the springs while i was at it. Drives like a new tractor now. I'm really happy with it.
