Not much progress over the summer months g had to work allot of overtime to fund my fun, lol) but finally getting some progress. Started fall of 2014 , sandblasted and rebuilt everything, but its finally starting to look like a tractor again. hope to get done in time for a couple shows this summer.

Nice job, You have a right to be proud of it! My first love of a farmall was a 450 gas. but my second and most steady is a 560D. lol, but I don't talk about it around the wife much, I hope you understand...

Super job! Looks better than new!

I am soooooo drooling over that 450! Every picture from top to bottom is days of work and I just kept going WOW WOW WOW all of the way down. You should be so proud and when those four big pistons are at idle of around 500 rpm. Chug chug. I want one too.

I have been seeing lately of pics.on this site that on the IH tractors the rear wheel hub is turned with the dish in. Why? This is uncommun here in my area.

It narrows up the tread width for 30" rows, also fits on a trailer easier.

Yea, A new cushion, new front wheels, and painted hyd levers,or chromed, havent seen that in a restoration b 4!

henryrit · Jan 20, 2016

Thats exactly why ,to fit between fenders on a trailer.

Nice! What color did you use for the dash?

henryrit · Jan 21, 2016

The silver for the rims.

henryrit · Jan 21, 2016

This is a 1956 ,serial number 523

Andy Martin · Jan 22, 2016

Pretty low number, 23rd one built.

D beatty · Jan 22, 2016

I see the early 450s didn't have a tachometer and have more room between the back of gas tank and back of dash.

Bill VA · Jan 23, 2016

Beautiful!!!!!!!

The only way I'd ever get something to look that good is buy it new.... ;-)

Once work!

I believe the tachometer was always an option on all 400s and 450s. I have a 350 that originally had no tachometer so I added one. Al

That is what a true restoration looks like!
Nice work & congratulations.
