Getting a Regular running in two days

SweetFeet · Dec 4, 2012

Just found this video of a group at a tractor show getting a Regular running in two days.

Neat video... not all is fast forward speed. There is a nice photo montage after that part and then some normal video of a guy (who seems to have a death wish) driving the old girl once running.

Them SC boys may not be to safety conscious But they sure move fast.

RBnSC,

LOL. Yep, thought it was really neat.

(Just kept thinking though... geez, if he falls - it won't be pretty).

Sorta reminds me of some ol" iron around the mountains of NC. So does the driver. Waiting for him to yell, "YA"ll Watch This!"

hard to believe,...i didn't see a set of torches anywhere

There was a group of guys from this board that started with a F20 about that condition and restored it with paint and all at RPRU in Madison wi. a few years back. 3 days from rust to painted finished tractor.

Overhauled engine and mag. New clutch, brakes and rubber. Sanded,sand blasted and painted from noon Wed to auctioned off noon Sat.

I think Nebraska Cowman had a lot to do with that and I think he bought it back at the auction.
I watched them start it for the first time. Hand cranked not towed. Started fairly easy.

Started fairly easy after we remembered to turn the gas on.LOL

Hey, Im in that video, for like 3/10 of a second. First and only time I went to that show, so far.

Nice job it's always great to the old iron up and running again.

I would like a TV show on RFD or something that showed fixing up a tractor instead of the other nonsense on TV everynight when I want to go to sleep.

ohiojim,
No torches does seem surprising. I see my husband use it a fair amount to help loosen up stuff.

Dalet,

Us too. Not much good on TV. Wish one could receive RFD without having cable or dish (we do not have it).
