Excellent thread idea Daron!!!

 

 

I don't have a decent before pic of Patriot although here's a video of the day of Trina's first tractor drive ever, on Patriot. When we first got it from @Stepney it was all "patina". 

 

 

 

Cinnamon has a build thread with it's nastiness in all its glory.

 

 

 

 

 

Here's some of Trina's Pony before and after.

Then the others as they are today.

 

 

 

 

The one on the right is the 1267/1287 mongrel that didn't work out so I disassembled it.

 

 

Near to far is Pony, Pigpen, Cinnamon and Patriot.

@Racinbob that 400 looks amazing, but I don’t see what it was lacking before either!

Thanks but it wasn't nearly as nice as the picture makes it look. Motor had been swapped to a tapered crankshaft with the drive pulley welded on, transmission had some bad gears, hood had holes and was pretty much gone at the bottom of the grille, paint was super thick and runny etc, etc, etc. It ended up being a total nuts and bolts rebuild including some excellent welding and patching by @19richie66.
