Well fellas, here she is at last. (Hope the picture works since I haven't posted one before.) The top is the first time I saw it about 3 1/2 years ago. The bottom is the first drive last week. I was pretty much like a kid on Christmas morning. Needless to say my DC never would have happened without DCTom, John Saeli, DonL, F-I-T, and all the rest of you guys at this board who offered advice, techniques and sources. My sincerest thanks to you all. It also wouldn't have happened without Ken & Kenny Kroschel- two of the best mechanics/ tractor guys i know. So now its time for 4th of July and the fair and rodeo etc. I figure it had a hard enough life the first time round...

Did your"s have a chrome strip on the hood sides? I couldn"t tell from your pictures. I have an unrestored, but running, "42 DC. It does have the chrome, but I"ve never seen another one with it. I know they dropped the chrome during the war.

You're right Joe- It did have one strip left on one side of the hood when I got her though it was too far gone to be saved. But someday in the future she might get some new chrome again.

What a nice job. I think them DC are one of the neatest looking machines ever made.

Guess it probably looks real familiar then, since mine's a '41 as well.

Ya know, I'd like to say it looks like the hard part is over, but I think the hard part is just beginning. You did such a beautiful job refurbishing that tractor, that the "hard part" of keeping it clean and scratch free is just beginning...(grin)..
In all seriousness, though. Congratulations on a beautiful job, well done. And have fun enjoying it every chance you get.

The paint is PPG. And in truth- Ken & Kenny did the paint and all of the really hard stuff & deep engine work. I corralled parts for a couple years, scrubbed and de-rusted (with F-I-T's electrolysis technique) for a couple years, rebuilt the mag, starter, head etc, but they were the ones that ran with everything and brought all my research and prep work together in a way that I never could have. The whole process has been an absolute blast- (and in large part because of the friends made along the way.) I already want to do another one- but with a new daughter and an increasingly busy day job that may have to wait a while... I'd like to do an old farm truck/ tractor hauler someday too! Typical me- lots of great ideas and not enough spare time & spare cash for toys!

You're SO right Walt! There were more than a few times when I had parts going all over the garage and I'd get a little scared of what I'd started and wonder if I'd ever get it all back together and done. Definitely a real good exercise in finishing what i started- and maybe the scary parts make finishing it that much sweeter.

Nice tractor finished up real well - ending a simular tear down on a 1210 DB - not the old school but they are a job and a half...
