I took every last nut and bolt out of it, and I mean everything... trans, diff, brakes, dist, hyd. 3 point hitch pump, etc.. Re-sleeved the cylinders, inserted valve guides, new engine parts, etc. About the only thing I didn't do was machine the head or grind the crank. My father was a dealer and figured it was the best experience for me and he was right on. I even painted it the same color as your sons but a purist knows they originally were all grey. Encouraging young kids into these projects should be required and some sort of basic trade skill would be the best thing for the future of this country. Thank you for showing it and congratulations  |
Sounds like you did the same thing they did, they took it completely apart. Order replacement parts for the ones they couldn't fix, made a home-made paint booth in the barn sand blasted and painted everything.
