I will try to get some pics up. I'm starting on a 50 that probably should go to scrapper. I bought it for high scrap price, and it has full set of cultivators, Power-trol, and transmission pto.

One rear rim is rusted out at valve stem, other looks solid. will try to air the tires up and use them to get it home.

Clutch is rusted in disengaged (rear ) position.

Trans was in reverse. I THINK I have it in neutral now. I had to bump the shift lever w/ my palm to get it to move.

Working on getting hubs loose to get them pulled in so it will fit on my trailer.

Starting out upside down, but the heart wants what the heart wants.
 
It sounds like you have a fair sized basket....at least it is in one piece! I have taken on several projects like this over the years and have wondered what I had got myself into. Its like picking rocks though; its better to look behind and see what you have accomplished than to look ahead and see whats to do yet. If you want it bad enough you will succeed. Keep us informed.
