Pondus 13 #1 Posted November 19, 2018 Hello guys, and gals. My name is Aage, and live in north/east Norway, about 6-7 km from tbe border of Russia. My hometown is Kirkenes. I got my first red horse a few days ago. It's a 1054. Engine needs a rebuild, and tractor will have new paint and service. 9 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KC9KAS 4,741 #2 Posted November 19, 2018 @Pondus to It is your tractor and you can paint it if you want, but a lot of folks here have been saving the working tractor patina by using boiled linseed oil or even spraying a clear-coat on them! You have a fine candidate for saving the patina! Keep us posted Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,451 #8 Posted November 20, 2018 not a bad looking tractor for the year of it, good luck with your rebuild. You'll have quite a nice tractor when it's running again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
