Thanks for all the help with the 1950 Harry Ferguson TO-20.

About a year ago I started redoing it for my wife, it is her Pappys tractor. She got it from him after it caught on fire and saved it from going to the scrap yard.

First, she was just going to have it be yard art and as she told stories about riding on the fender when she was a little girl, she started wanted it to be functional again. One year later I have finished it for her. Its not perfect but it was wore plumb out and abused before so I didnt have a lot to work with. I got most of the parts from YT and a lot of help from the forums. It starts with a flick of the shifter, purrs like a kitten and holds 25lbs of oil pressure.

She picked the colors and the pearl sparkles while insisting that was how she wanted it, despite me telling her it was originally battleship gray. With a sarcastic snarl she states to anyone that questions the colors Its mine, I didnt paint it for you! Ha! Ha! She putters around the yard and fields while enjoying precious memories, thats what mattered.

Once again thanks to everyone.

well done and good for her, stand up for your dream. P.S. my wife wants eyelashes on the NAA she calls Tallulah.
 
Steve. You are correct. I dont know why I typed 1955. It is a 1950. I fixed my post. I guess I had too many thumbs on the keyboard.

A special thanks to you as I got a lot from you and your post on YT. I dont know what you do for a living but you sure are helpful.
 
That's a great looking Fergie!! 8) The colors are wonderful.
My wife picked the colors for our tractor, she said solid gray was just too drab.

That is beautiful, they should have been painted that way at the factory. The paint looks nice and shiny, great job. I sometimes think about repainting my WD45
different colors, but it also sounds like too much work.
