When I bought my 3000 about 10 years ago it was a worn out gasser with a straight up 4 speed. Since then it's gone through a few changes.
Not long afterwards I put a school 3600 8 speed transmission and rear end in it giving it better hydraulics and live pto.
A couple of years later I parted out a 2000 and gave it power steering.
Since then it's had two different engines in it - this last one a diesel, and a couple of different front ends.
I've posted some recent progress about paintng a real nice original nose and grill I got for it and this morning Mike gave me a hand putting them on.
I was looking the tractor over afterwards and was thinking about what I Hadn't changed.
I'm pretty sure the only piece left that was on it 10 years ago is this Right side hood. And maybe one of the step plates which will also get changed when I put the Brit style fenders I have for it on.
I think EVERY other piece has been switched out at one point or another.
Here's what it looks like after 10 years of goofing around with it.
We finished two small deer plots yesterday but the big one was too wet to disc and plant so I will do it when it drys out.
Here's Mike my good friend and hunting buddy - yesterday before we switched the nose.
You can tell he's glad for the power steering as it lets him use one hand for more important things.
