SMOKER 1 Posted April 10, 2018 Share Posted April 10, 2018 Good looker! I kinda like the gold on the battery covers. Adds a nice touch of your own. To respect that I will not paint them gold on my 1026, even though I want to. I think it cool that guys like to do something just a slight bit different to make it your our. jerry Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bullwinkle Posted April 11, 2018 Author Share Posted April 11, 2018 Thanks for all the positive comments. Like I said in the beginning , this one had seen more use than some of the others & therefore took more to get it to this condition but I don’t know of anything that would be considered weak at this point. A year from now the investment will seem irrelevant. I hope?. At least that’s what I tell my wife. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tonyinca Posted May 9, 2018 Share Posted May 9, 2018 Randy ! My eyes are still blinded be those lug bolts on the 26 ! Fantastic Job , I had the pleasure of meeting Josh when Danny took me around Pine Island . He sure did a gorgeous job on that girl. Man , Your going to have an outstanding line up of Goldies in not to much longer, or I should say a more outstanding line up ,because you already do. I am so interested in your 1456 . Hope to follow you on here. There is something about a 1456 that is very hard to keep one's eyes off of. I love mine and it always seems to be the right touch to brighten the reds around her. Danny pulled the heck out of her the other day , He and the boys played magic with the pump while I was busy with my others . Responding to your thought of the pain of restoration is soon forgot ; I can sure attest to that ,everyone I do I fume and fret about money but when its done , the joy makes all else not consequential . Even the pick up , I was sweating bullets towards the end and my wife was looking at me cross eyed ,when she wrote the checks , and now I asked her the other day when we were driving in it," was it worth it?" She just said its nice I like it .lol. Keep us posted on 56 Enjoy , Tony Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DirtBoyz07 Posted May 10, 2018 Share Posted May 10, 2018 I'm with Tony on all the time and money spent on the restoration of these tractors , but the reward is right here in this last picture ?? we had a great time out in California a few weeks ago and feel very honored that Tony let me drive the newly restored IH pickup ?
