JMW 3 #5 Posted March 4, 2012 We finally started making some progress on the tractor.I managed to get the front tires mounted,the hitch built and some weight brackets made.Had a friend give me some stainless so we'll be putting a little shine on it in spots.Hopefully the carb and engine gaskets will get here soon so we can get some more done.

JMW 3 #9 Posted March 4, 2012 Thanks guys.This has been a great father/son project so far...a bit of a money pit but well worth it! As far as the shop goes I'm fortunate to have a good boss who lets me work there on weekends and after work. Duane: I sent you a PM a while back..I may have messed up sending it ? I found hubs for it but I am interested in a cyl head if you still have an extra you want to sell? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,165 #15 Posted April 13, 2012 Very nice! I think its about time I find a tractor for my 10 yr old son Cole. He has been asking me to build a puller with him for a few yrs. now....... Is that your home shop? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JMW 3 #16 Posted April 14, 2012 Thanks Ken....It has been a very good project for my son Cameron and me.He's learning allot of useful things and it gives us more time together. ...I wish it was my home shop...I am lucky enough to have a boss that lets me keep and work on our project at the garage I work at.I had one like it a little smaller but some life changes with the ex changed the tractor and tool count a little I have him every weekend and this has been very good for the both of us.More updates asap.
