Painted rear fender and primed hood.

Beginning to build up out of the battery box with angle, supported by the frame.

Continued tacking the dump bed support frame together. I need more angle iron to complete this frame. Will have several frame members going forward and back as well as some diagonal supports for the forward "T" frame.

Put the grill casting in place and found a grill insert that I had on hand. The tractor came without one.

Some of the tool arsenal, including one of my favorites, the Milwaukee band saw.

Found a place for my CC banner...

Have more painting to do, but can't smell up the shop because it's so cold (15 degrees--cold by coastal Virginia standards) that the dogs won't come in the shop with paint fumes and they can't stay outside in this weather. May be a week before I can get back to painting.
