progress on the m5 slow but sure

carvel minne farmer · Apr 5, 2018

evening all some progress on the m5 this week, busy on the next welder overhaul so not a lot of time to work on the tractor. got the fuel tank out and into hunter radiator for cleaning and lining, picked up new hydraulic steel lines (check them out in my new hitech paint booth) :lol: new hoses, all the parts I ordered from agco came in. the new rad hoses, power steering seal kit, new hydraulic hoses for on the tank. just have to roll the tractor back for steam cleaning, (lots of oven cleaner on the oily greasy parts) roll it back pull the wheels and start sanding and scuffing things up for paint, get it painted up and start reassembly. this dam weather is not helping down to -20c tonight snowed again yesterday (not much) but this winter dragging on is NOT helping. nad not a dam thing we can do about it

so just carry on.

That's a good idea on a quick and easy paint booth!

At least with such a great inside project, you don't have to be out in the cold and snow!

That is what I was thinking on the painting booth. Very good idea indeed.
