I like doing these kind of restoration projects. I saw it at an auction, and bid on it because it's kind of a local tractor, which I thought was cool. My kids were excited to see this tractor come to the shop, especially my 4 year old. He has informed me that it's mine and his tractor. I wish there was more info on some of these tractors. I'm pretty sure I have the paint colors for the tractor, because I was able to peel of the old decals and expose the original paint. I'm pretty sure I have enough of the engine to rebuild it, maybe missing a few pieces (I'm usually a Briggs guy, but I'm going to keep this original- It's a 5 Hp Tecumseh). I don't have the mower deck, so unless I find one it will be more of a parade tractor. The only other thing I am missing is the foot rest above the left front tire, not sure yet what I'm going to do about that yet, but I think it will be a fun project!! I will try to keep pics of the restoration. I'm going to try and be done by Labor Day (West Liberty's annual tractor show)
