:lol: lets make it the following winter sv! I still got the ih 100 mowers to do, the nh rake, the 336 baler, the other m5, definatly no shortage of projects to do. I am always amazed how many hours you can burn up doing the simplest jobs. it always takes twice as long as you think it should :roll:

Everything I touch takes about 3 times longer than it should

Heck, if I send you my Farmall 460, you'll be busy for 3 winters easy. *lol*

Looking good!

And 3X the money.That's going to be a really good tractor to have when you're finished.

That is going to look like a new tractor.

Out of curiosity, why didn't you paint from the frame rail down? Or am I seeing something wrong? Thanks

Nice work, thanks for sharing. Was the tractor mostly complete or did you have to go hunting for parts?

I got it all complete and with a bit of work we had it running, did the august haying with it, ran and performed great. this winters work over was to get all the leaks (hydraulics) hoses etc. replaced and ready for this summers haying season.
