Hey Lanse, glad to see you are enjoying yourself. However, jack of all trades and master of none can bite you. I sa you are on the right track doing the little stuff first, but dont mess with any major components if possible until you have an operators manual, an I&T Shop Manual, and as this is your first restoration, a how to book would be helpful. Go ahead and order those, keep soaking the motor, go ahead and take off all the sheetmetal, prep it, prime it, and put it in the corner until you are ready to paint. Dont rush this. It didn't get in that shape overnight, and it won't become a shine job overnight. If you can have a small sucess or two every day, it will help keep you motivated over this project. BTW, if you still have those cultivators, keep them, set them up this summer to plow sweet corn. I'm telling you it beats the heck out of a hoe, you won't dread it. Keep the Kubota for the tillage, buy a old Covington planter or equivlent to mount behind, and plant and plow with the B. Have fun irregardless of my advice and listen to these old timers, they've BTDT, unlike us.
