I have an original condition 1948 F Cub that I am restoring. The tractor is in excellent condition both mechanically and cosmetically, with the exception of a few nicks and faded paint. I am planning on having it painted soon, and want to do everything I can to achieve perfection prior to the paintbooth. Here is a little rundown on what I have done:
degreased tractor changed oil/filter changed trans and steering box lube repaired bent clutch insp plate installed new implement mounting bolts replaced all hoses and tower clamps flushed and refilled cooling system cleaned breather and intake caps cleaned oil cup
Things left to be done:
change final drive oil and gaskets r&r front tires clean, inspect and grease wheel bearings replace 2 dented light rings r & r wiring harness replace grommets (before or after painting??) check front wheel wobble replace seat with original type replace grille and side wings
What other things should I be looking for? I do not want to be messing around fixing things after the paint job. The carb leaks when the gas is left on. Should I rebuild it?? It appears that nothing else is leaking, so should I skip replacing various seals and gaskets??
