Thanks Hal. That poor tractor was a wreck when I bought it. The blow-by was enormous. Didn't smoke but compression was very low on all cylinders. Rusted. Thrown together hobbled repairs. Someone attempted to paint part of it with what looked like a roller. Had rodents nest through any crevice. Leaked at every gasket.......It was ugly! Current owner is even more of a perfectionist than I. Very talented. Both of us are long time racers and muscle car nuts. I know when he gets done with some of the needed items, it will be about as perfect as one can get. I hope this inspired Bob to carry on. He wont be disappointed. I had more fun and satisfaction putting that beautiful piece of Farm Iron together than I've had in years working/racing cars. What can I say for a true blue city boy :-) Next project? 560 gas coming soon to this Detroit suburb boating community :-) Carry on Bob, do it right and you'll love it!
