    Got the seat on and some touch up paint on it. Waiting on sheet metal, should be all together in the next 2 weeks.

    3 point, hood, gauges and cluster, stacks and lights added. She's now running again. Should be 100% after Thursday for the first time in a very long time.

    She's finally done. Needs bolts touched up and the rest of the steering shaft. I must say it sure is a pretty tractor for being a 1951.

    Common sense is not a gift. It's a punishment because you have to deal with everyone else who doesn't have it.

    Here's the restoration complete minus steering shaft. Glad it's done, ready to start another now.
