203 Industrial
Member
I almost painted my 203 Industrial red but Red fades so bad.
I don't like M.F. yellow so I mixed my own color. It may not appeal to the all original guys/gals but I don't go to tractor shows. I would go if there weren't people, just tractors.
Anyway I bought a 203 backhoe that fell apart soon after purchase. I completely rebuilt the engine and put all new gears and bearings in the transmission.
I like contrasting parts. Spraying all one color looks good too. Anyway after about 6 months its coming together Here is a few pictures.
I still have the rear section of the tractor to clean and paint, wheels to paint
Then do cleaning and repairs to the loader and backhoe. Mechanical repairs on the engine and tranny came first. That's almost done. The loader and backhoe aren't too bad mechanically. I d0 need a new backhoe bucket pin and hoses. The fuel line was hooked up to the fuel tank today. its drivable again.
Its a journey
