   My grandfather bought this tractor new in 1955.It was on the farm till mid 80s when I got it. We used it a little and then it sat in the shed until this June. We completely rebuilt the tractor seals,bearings, new motor. We got it done in time for the Oliver show @ Penns Cave. I only wish my Dad and Uncle could have seen it done.

| | Very nice. But it must be the lighting, but that sure looks more like John Deere green than Meadow green. . . I know, I know- go get the bar of soap. . .

| Very nice, what kind of paint did you use. I used Imron on my last job and it was very pricey.
