First 130 into our dealerships

I posted this in the Case Forum and thought I should over here.
This was the first J.I.Case garden tractor into my Fathers dealership in 1965.
This is me on the "130" when it was just out of the crate,and Dad let me bring home,to our yard to drive around.I was 11.
I found the tractor years back,but the guy that owned it,somehow found out we had sold it new, and hung a big price on it.Eventually he got tired of storing it, and I bought it.
It needs some work, as it was in a leaky shed.Working on the parts I need,and hopefully get it repainted.Bottom picture is after I got it back,and putting it into dry storage

Tom,I will do that! Good idea, when I get her done I will haul it back to the hometown and take a picture of my bigger b_tt in it, in the exact location!

Doesn't look too bad considering the age. I m surprised the decals are still in good shape. Good luck on your project.
 
It was repainted,but what"s so sad is it was put back into a leaky shed and forgotten.
Thanks,eventually will get it back into shape
 
Thanks GB, will get a post up here when I do with the old and new pic like Tom said above
