And so it begins. I know, not the right seat, supposed to be silver. Lots of stuff to figure out on this little guy. Wiring is a hack job nightmare. Plan is to get the front wheels powder coated and back on with new tires, then get it running like it sits. Then I'll start the restoration process.

Beautiful! She's a beast!

It really is! Other than a seat and a mystery intake pipe, it really doesn't need that much. Oil leaks and cosmetic stuff. Hard part will be finding a grill. Overall it's a nice survivor.

I'm learning these things are like potato chips! Had another one follow me home. My H is a little to big for the grandsons to drive, for now. Found a "grandson sized" 1951 Super A. Me and the boys are looking forward to restoring this one. Not enough rust to do the rat rod thing, so this one gets shiny red paint.

I took Freddy on a little "field trip" after work today. Actually, wanted a good test drive. Ran and drove perfectly, I couldn't be happier. This is as close as this tractor will ever get to farm work. On to the next IH project!

A little more artwork. A nod to my racing days, my car was named "Bad Apple". And showtime!

Got it out in the sun today. It was worth every minute of *work* and every single penny. I think it's beautiful!

Went from 24 to 24.2! Lol I honestly can't answer that question, it hasn't left the shop. I can say that it starts a little easier, runs a little better. I also rebuilt the carb though.

That's fantastic! I love it! Lmao 🤣

Other than the Firestones, not a lot. Traded the powder coating for leatherwork, did all the labor myself. Most $ I spent at one time was the Pertronix ignition.

Already in the plans! 👍

Just about ready for the show! Couple little odds and ends to tidy up. It has been a blast "working" on this thing. I've already decided that Fred is just the first tractor in my future collection. Don't know what will be next, whatever shows up first I guess. LOL

Now the expensive part. New Firestones and powder coating for the back.

Nitrous all ready and a little artwork

New front tires, and outer rim is powder coated. Very crappy pic, couldn't get better lighting in the shop.
