I think I pulled it off.

Local clubs threshing show is this weekend and featuring Orchards and High crops. Some of you remember I started piecing my 77 Orchard together a month ago. Well I finished it tonight. There is a few odds and ends it could use but for now its good enough to take to a show and maybe run in the pull, why not right? Had to put new water pump in the High crop, I've had the pump for couple weeks already and finally put it in this morning before it got too hot. Can't spell procrastinate without Nate, haha.

Looking GOOD! Nothing like working on stuff till last minute to get it ready. I really like that high crop, what is the plan for the orchard tractor a complete resto someday? Take some pics of the show.
 
I am going to a wedding in Iowa this weekend but will try to make it to Heatwole. Glad to see you got the orchard going. I just don't have the drive to work on them anymore and it's good that it could go to someone who will enjoy it.
 
I hope to fully restore one day but my ability to do a quality restoration on a tractor like this is not where it should be. Might try and do more practice on others first. Sometime soon I plan on adding hydraulics to it to make it more usable around the farm.
 
I've only had it going couple days and I've enjoyed it a lot already. I'll be running in the pull tomorrow so more fun to be had.
