how much room should i have between the hood and steering wheel when i try to open it? ive straightened the frame and only have a 1/4" which is fine but wasnt sure if it was normal.

About 1/4" on my 122 also.

Started the day off with pulling the head and valves, the valves got cleaned and adjusted and the head got flattened and bead blasted. Now that the engine is out I'm going to replace all the gaskets. I bolted the fenders on and after an hour of heating and beating I have them looking pretty good, as of now the entire tractor is disassembled and in a big pile on the floor. I was planning to fix this frame but after getting it apart it's in much worse shape than I thought, most of the holes in the frame are egg shaped because the bolts were loose so I'm gonna use another frame. Now that it's apart I can begin taking care of all the little odds and ends that need done before I blast tomorrow. I found the serial number and it was made in Nov of 64.

Making progress! The fenders and AG's give it a nice look. :beerchug:

Looking good :beerchug:

Got the steering rebuilt and painted so it can go on the shelf, tomorrow I just have to take care of a few things and then it will be time to sandblast.

Looking good, Tim!

Keep going, you are off to a good start.

Great progress. :beerchug: I went to Beauty and the Beast with the kids and momma tonight. Of course that was after I took the girl to dance class this morning.:Boohoo:

You are a good dad. You will never regret time spent with family.
