Just as fine as frog hair.
Used to like old cars, but there's not much room for smelly mice nests , cracked dashboards, etc on an old tractor.

Very nice.

It looks great! question: The front hub caps I've seen them both colors what does mother Deere say they are supposed to be ? ps, I'm not big on chrome exhausts.

NICE! The front wheel weights gives it a little extra. Expand on what you completed during the rehab? Time line?

You can be very proud. Those that have toiled on a restoration know what you had to do.

I'm trying to finish a '41 jd H, changing it to electric start along the way. I'll try to figure out how to send photos when I'm done.

Sure wish my M looked that nice. My M was bought new by my dad in '48 and we still use it on the farm for light jobs like raking hay, running the corn elevator, etc.

Below are a few photos of my latest project, a 1930 Hart Parr 28-50 with the New York Special road wheels. Been working on it 2 winters now and hope to get it done this winter.

Nice, nice job!!

I'll have to try getting dad's 320 on here, since the condition of it was the same as yours (it took him 3 1/2 years though)

Well it looks nice and straight and shines and I can't see paint overspray all over the tires, so:

GOOD JOB!!!

Looks good to me , but I like Green and yellow on wheels.

The Heart Par looks better too without the firewood growing out of it.

Thank you all for your nice compliments, and to answer a few of your questions . This was the first John Deere I ever restored and only the second one I have done the other was one of them red things!! Cub Farmall. This restoration took me 7 months of evenings and weekends, but worth every minute of it . The tractor was totally tore down every seal and gasket replaced,motor bored and crank turned. And I am not even going to even start on telling you how much money and how many new parts are on this tractor. I now know why John Deere is green they get greener the more money you spend!!!!!

Thanks again, Dustin IL
