1946 long hood A

Here is a picture of "Easy" my 46 slant dash A.

Call him "Easy" because this is the easiest tractor I have ever "spruced up".

Will be using this tractor to cut hay with a #5 JD mower this summer.

Used it last Fall to rake hay with a 640 JD hay rake.

Hope you enjoy your slant dash 46A.

I have a small JD data book that has an Appendix which gives details on decal types and locations.

Some of the decal "sets" come with both United and Donaldson air cleaner decals.

Even though I do not "restore" my tractors to original, I do my best to keep them "looking" as original as possible.

You are correct about the lights; they should be black.

All I keep handy is the high-temp black for the mufflers and exhaust pipes.

Always well stocked with JD green.

I have a small JD tractor guide that has an Appendix which gives details on decal location.

I must confess that on some of my tractors the decals are in the wrong place. To embarrassed to say where on which ones.

I once read that "ignorance is a tough tree to cut, but the sharpest saw is a willingness to learn".

The majority of work that I initially do on my tractors is "clean up" and minor repair.

They usually get "put to work" right off the trailer.

I have purchased the operator's manual, parts catalog, and service manual for each tractor.

I am a firm believer in scheduled lubrication and maintenance on these old tractors.

Thanks for all you provide to us on this forum.
