The tractor looks fabulous,  guys!  You always seem to have a marathon session about March 15th (my birthday)!  When does it travel back to Iowa so I can visit?

March is a nice month to turn wrenches and some dirt down there.  Sadly, we ran out of time to get any fieldwork in this last visit.  The tractor is more or less done outside of a cab kit, windshield wiper and motor, fan, and a few knickknacks.  I need to decide whether or not to bring it back this spring, or wait and share a truck ride when the 1256 is done.

After three years, the day I've been waiting for came.  We finished up swapping to the third cab in that period, after I found a cleaner all around unit.  Everything works...heater, fan, wiper, and lights.  After buttoning everything up, we stabbed some of Brian's extra duals on, and to the field we go!  My fingers were crossed, but everything functioned as it should have, and the tractor ran strong.  We disked for several hours until being chased home by rain.  Today was a good day.

I am new here, where did you find the quick hitch?  Any idea where I can find one for my 56?

 

Welcome to the board! I don't know where he finds all the treasure but he does find it. Those quick-hitches are hard to come by.

If it’s just for function get a John Deere one and paint it red. The Deere ones are easy to find. If it’s just to look at, you’ll have to search for it.

Final walk-around courtesy of Long Farms.  I have an extra set of sheet metal that will get painted gold when I get it back home.  Outside of a cab kit, it's done!  It's been slow, but come a long way from the beginning.  Many thanks to Brian for all of his help.
