I gotta tell you pics do not do it justice. What's better is I got seat time on it. Head bolts were saying retorque us. So I had to run it to the end of the road for warm up. Wow... steering is incredibly tight and clutch/brake is spot on. 82" belt works fine Richard. Throttle response is primo. Just can't say enough about it! Not enough 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rjg854 11,366 #153 Posted June 4, 2023 That's the usual way, pictures make an old tractor look pretty decent, but on a freshly rebuilt one they don't do it justice. 1 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WHX?? 48,820 #156 Posted June 5, 2023 Tell you what Dan I ran her thru all the gears and couldn't find anything to fault although I didn't try the HY as nothing to test it against. Thing with a complete resto like this there is always one stupid thing you over looked. In my case four or six but Dan's was good to go on all counts. Sure ther might be some things on shake down cruise but hopefully minor. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

PeacemakerJack 10,738 #161 Posted December 3, 2023 Awesome Dan @Achto! That tractor sure went to the RIGHT home. It was one owner from the scrap heap and you breathed new life into it for another whole generation to enjoy. Well done my friend, well done. 1 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
