Only a few minor details left before this tractor is finished. I drove it to its next stop to install canopy and decals. The tractor received a lot of attention and thumbs up on the 20+ mi drive. The plan is for the tractor to be at the Albert City summer show for the 175th CASE Anniversary. Rod.

That is an amazing tractor. You really did a great job on it. It's even nicer close up than from a distance which takes a lot.

Did you say "leave the shop" or "leave the factory"? Very nice.

The gauge is correct, I was a bit nervous about running out of fuel but it made the trip, Rod.

Most all the painting was done by some one else and he did a wonderful job. I put the pieces of the puzzle together and only had one oops of dropping a punch on the lovely paint job. Rod.

looks nice.

always liked the 70's vintage tractors. probably because as a kid dealers still gave out brochures so i'd grab up everyone i could get my hands on and study them for hours (should have been doing homework). even picked up those funny green brochures as if it was tractor stuff i was looking at it. still do just not so much.
