Shynon 7,474 #1 Posted December 22, 2015 Brought this one home a few weeks ago from a road trip. Really wanted original paint, this one was spray bombed with a somewhat orange toned paint. Well 1/2 gallon on laquer thinner and a lot of hours very carefully washed of most of the spray paint, managed to save all the original decals. Little oil wet sanding and I am pretty happy with it. Had to replace one bad leg with an original . Installed my bug eye HL-5 lights. Carb and fuel pump overhaul and she runs great. 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 63,269 #6 Posted December 22, 2015 I love that style of square hood and love me some round fenders! There's been a 1045 on CL for $1000 for quite some time now with no attachments... Don't quite love it that much though! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WheelHorse79 271 #15 Posted December 25, 2015 Nice 1045, and with the original tires too! Just curious, what is the serial number of the tractor, if it still has the tag? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
