Winter Project 126
 

Hi Guys. Here's my (new) 126 that was given to me by my neighbor. I plan to work on it over the winter and probably paint it in the spring. The paint is very rough and will need to be stripped. I'll also take the engine apart and have a machine shop measure it and do what is necessary for a rebuild. These are the (before) pictures.

Ole one eye looks good for a refurb. Already got a hitch and a plow bracket. Congrats. Mike:beerchug:

One Eye
 

Yep. I'll have to do something about that.

Looks like a good candidate for a refresh. Please keep us updated on the progress.:beerchug:

Refresh
 

Yes, it certainly needs a refresh. It's been sitting in his barn for about 15 years along with a 108 that's in sad shape. He's giving me that one also but I don't have a place to put it right now. But I'll be working on the 126 (slowly) over the winter and I will post progress pictures.

Looks like everything is there, will be a fun project.

Fun Project
 

It would be a lot more fun if I had a media blaster. I may have to make one. Sanding is not my favorite task.

Please keep us posted on your progress, and remember we like pictures.

Progress
 

Yep, will do.

Progress on the 126
 

Here are some pictures of the progress I'm making on the 126. I'm taking my time on this one because I want it to look show room fresh. I haven't started on the frame or the axle yet. I found the marble inside the frame rail. I'm guessing the P.O lost his marbles at some point.
