854 and Raider 12 restore

[JPWH 6,145]

Would someone please turn us over!

I got the replacement rear wheels and put on some temp front wheels so now the 854 is at least standing on all four feet. I also have new tins to replace the rusted out ones. And thanks to an rs member a new seat next week.

The motor is soaking with atf  fluid and the transmission  is full of diesel.

I thought I would post a before picture of the pair. Tractors are ready, e tank is ready, sandblaster  assembled and ready, then wouldn't you know it work puts a hold on everything for a week. To add to an already overflowing to do list, the air compressor decides to throw a rod after 18 years.lol
My dad always told me you may give out sometimes but don't ever give up.
To top it all off the drill press switch won't switch off.
Oh did I  mention I have to replace my shop fuse panel to a breaker panel so I can add another 240  outlet for the new compressor.
(I told you maybe some  new tools)LOL
Not complaining just organizing my thoughts preparing to manage pandemonium  and chaos as quickly and efficiently as possible. ( I work for an electrical contractor so this is everyday life) lol

You're welcome, man.  Nice old tractors

I dont know what you are going to lift/tow with that raider......but it looks mean!!!!

If you look close there is not a cable lift handle. I have a repaired hernea and cannot pull the weight of any attachments. That is why the hydraulic system.   I  have a box blade, plow, cultivated and disc.
