For you guys that have followed me in my progress on the F-12 restoration may remember that I've been away working in upstate NY. Providing for the family has taken priority over the hobby for a while!!
With that being said I have had some time on my short trips home to wrench on the 12 a bit. On my extended stay home over Thanksgiving I finally got everything brought home from the machince shop and stored away in the basement.

Top that off with an old set of '36 Ford headlight shells bolted to the hood. Pretty unlikely for a car... but for a tractor, this is pretty normal. It seems that more often than not they a
