2150 FWA Restoration Pics

2150 finally made it out of the paint booth and back home tonight. Many many thanks to everyone that helped with parts, advise, and direction to get this thing back into shape. Was a long process, but we sure enjoyed bringing the old beast back to life.

Mitch, what a great job you did on this. Has to be one of the best looking old Olivers I have ever seen. It really looks great. Larry
 
Thanks for the offer but I know your 2-135 is field ready and since this thing hasn't been field tested yet, I'd hate to send you a potential lemon, so I better keep her!!
 
A planter tractor by todays standards but a real beast of a muscle tractor in it's day Beautiful job!! Even a "red" guy would be proud of that.
 
Mitch,
That is one beauty of an ol' beast. Excellent job on the resto. You must be very proud.

I asked a friend of my dads about his G705 MM with 23" tires on it in a 16" furrow....he said it works fine, just squishes it out a little.
 
Mitch, First let me say that is a beautiful job on the 2150 and thanks for the front chain tie down idea. I have been trying to think of a way to chain my 550 to the trailer. Chuck

Friend of the family paints the tractors. When he tore dads 2150 down last spring to paint it they found a good spot of original paint that had always been covered and he took that piece to his paint supply house and they matched that shade, so that's what we use. Some people think its a shade too light, but we think the Agco paint is a shade too dark, so I guess its just personal preference. It's acrylic enamel, and judging by the cost per gallon it is apparently laced with gold, but other than that its just paint. He calls it "special cast iron paint", but that's mostly because people want to know how you can see your reflection in cast iron. In any event, it always looks wet and shiny and I think that's the point.
