chris sutton 610 #4 Posted December 11, 2016 It seems to take forever cleaning parts but the wheels I had shot blasted. there's a few new parts I had to make along the way like dash stand and track rods. the hood was the most work as it was 2 welded together and took some bashing and a skim of bondo to get it looking good, lucky my son works in a car paintshop and gave me a lot of help 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

953 nut 56,153 #11 Posted December 14, 2016 The hood is amazing! Considering the amount of body work you did you can take a lot of pride in the outcome. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SylvanLakeWH 26,145 #18 Posted December 17, 2016 LOVE IT! In the States we have this little Federal Government organization called OSHA (Occupational Safety and Health Administration)...they would have a field day with the lack of toe guards next to those flywheels on your tractor...Just warning you mate - Don't import it to the USA when you go into mass production!!! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

We have the same over here called HSE ( health and Safety Executive ) The tractor spends most of its time on static displays, but I do drive it sometimes and have a grove on my left boot to prove it, the right hand side is ok as the brake/clutch pedal stops it happening 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
