Decided that it was time even though I do not have a muffler. Took it out the road to a friends house (300 yards) on the one lane blacktop. Steering, brakes, gears, clutch all worked well. Power steering reservoir leaked a bit, perhaps overfilled. Oil pressure gauge leaked a few drops out from underneath the dash. The only other problem was the missing PAVT wheel stops. Right tire kept moving slightly, but not enough to cause a problem.

Neighbor stopped me looking to move his building and I had to explain that it did not have a hitchbox yet. Lift arms and the box are at the welders. Done, but not picked up yet.

She'll be finished soon.

Looks great, though I think someone else is claiming ownership. :-)

The tractor looks great, Aaron! It appears to have also impressed the purple teddy bear and it"s care taker.

Nice looking tractor. You did an excellent job. Do you have another project lined up yet? Or are you just going to enjoy playing with this good looking machine?

Beautiful! And the same goes for the tractor. That Paint job is amazing, especially on the gray.

I've been following your project from the beginning. All your hard work and dilligence is beginning to pay off. That is a fine looking tractor! I'm sure with all your time and attention, it's caught the fancy of your youngin'. She'll remember DADDY's TRACTOR for the rest of her life. Yet another good reason to do what you've done.

GOOD JOB! You have every right to be proud.
