Was Running When Parked III

I hauled this NAA home June 14 last year. New fuel system, electronics, gauges, tires, rims, fluids and some other odds and ends and I had it ready to take to the Early Days Show in Temple in Oct. Came back home and took it apart again and patched and painted it. Finally finished except the lights. This is a rehabilitation, not a spot on restoration but I'm kinda happy with it. I hope to take her to the Cotton Gin Festival in Burton this coming weekend. I'll take a break and clean up the shop and try to corral all my tools then start putting the '48 8+2N (someone called theirs a 10N) with the Dearborn loader together. No paint this time thought.

Having accumulated 7 tractors for restorations when I retired in '05 and doing 3 Fords, a 2000 4 cyl and 3000 still in my working corral today, I can appreciate the effort and money you put into that masterpiece. I envy your attention to detail. Super job on a super good looking Ford design....thanks, Henry.
 
Nice job.
I did the same thing to my Jubilee, gave her a new coat of lipstick. However mine is a working girl. I trailer mine to do mowing jobs. Pushes snow in winter.

The first thing I did was put a vertical exhaust pipe on mine. I don't like to smell the exhaust just feet from the seat.

I also found an aftermarket monroe seat, much better ride than the stiff metal bracket spring.

Nice looking tractor. Guy in town has one looks almost as good. He is slowly restoring it. What is the real tall one in front of the church.
 
Billy, that's a Case high crop. I don't remember the model number. It's been at the Temple show every year I've gone.
 
Yes, I will add my congratulations. That is real nice! I had to look at the original a couple times to see that it was the same tractor. Paul
 
(quoted from post at 18:20:04 04/19/17) What color of red did you use on that and what brand.

The red on an NAA is vermillion. Red paint of a lower quality or without hardener will fade or darken very quickly.
