Boy that is a fine job.Looks like a brand new one.Since its done its time to roll in another tractor for a winter project LOL.
 
Very nice job! Since you are broken in on working on 435s, I will bring mine over for you. I replaced the steering knuckle and pins and bushings on front axle. I thought I had it ready for plow day when it would not start. Found that the diesel fuel went bad and turned into brown puddy. After scraping out what I could, I used E-85 and FIT"s MEK method. The back 2 bolts on the tank were too much of a challenge to remove it. I am going to put a sediment bowl on to catch the rest of the goup hopefully.

I have never heard of diesel going bad. I started farming this year again and started my combine that sat in the shed since 2001 and it ran just fine. How long was that thing sitting?
 
Wow, looks like brand new! Did you do a total repaint ? Any mechanical issues? Gotta say the before picture doesn't look horrible, with some dust and dirt, but the after pic is outstanding.
