655 Restoration

[SousaKerry 502]

Hey guys thought I'd show off my progress so far on the 655

First as found condition(actual Craig's List photos)

She is coming along nicely now.

All put away for the night sleep tight.

100% sand blasted primed and painted with rattle can Rustoleum Regal Red, engine painted with Duplicolor engine enamel Ford Red. Believe it or not you can't tell the difference between these two paints.

Got a lot of work to do on the wheels yet. Front ones are original Wheel Horse tires

Gotta find a good seat for her yet.

all for now guys

Oh btw does anyone have an extra lift cable for this tractor i have the sheath but the cable I have is too short. I guess I could use an off the shelf cable but I do not know the proper length.

ARRRRGGGGGGGGGGGGG

Got most of it back together and no spark!!!!!!!!!!!

Rizzle frackin rootin tootin

My whole magneto assembly is in nasty shape but was working fine when I disassembled it. So I went ahead and got new points and condenser and of coarse them new parts made it not work

Only thing i can find on ebay right now is the assembly without the generator side, they would work but not for charging the battery.

Is it possible to convert these older H-60 over to the more modern brakerless style? what parts are required? and does it all fit under the fan shroud so no-one will know but me?
