Here is the moment I've been waiting for. After all of the help along the way from you guys (the water pump noise, lighting issues, governor issues) I've finally completed the 140 tractor I re-did for a lady nearby.
Her father bought the tractor new in 1976, and since was VERY particular about it and treated it with the utmost of care. She informed us that it had approximately 250-300 hours on it since new. It was always shed kept, and she was the primary operator of the tractor. About 3 years ago, she decided to let a "friend" borrow the tractor. He didn't get 30 feet from the barn before the tractor caught fire (in a freshly broken up field mind you), and he stood there and watched the tractor burn up in flames. Not knowing what to do with it, she let it sit in the field for 2 years until she contacted us to fix it. From sitting that long the engine and transmission had locked up, but with a little TLC we've got the tractor going again and looking like a new one!! I guess you could say I've given it a new life when it was DOOMED!!! haha. Maybe I can come up with some "before" pictures of it from the owner because it really is something to see!!! There was literally nothing left ANYWHERE on the tractor.
Here is a link to all of the pictures along the way while re-doing the tractor, as well as the FINAL PICTURES of it. I would LOVE for all you guys and professional tractor gurus out there to look at them and tell me what you think (good or bad). I might even post a video of it running too.
