Already welded one up and painted it
List still left on that tractor:
- Pull column & rebuild with bearing upgrades (once I get the damn steering wheel off
- Pinch the front axle pivot tight (sloppy right now). Have a bolt and nut, and will bend it back slooooooowly
- Fab new tubing tie rods & drag links & install with heim ends
- Install axle & new front tubed tires
- Replace plastic hydro fan (would love to do U-joint upgrade, but can't find any reasonable parts to do upgrade)
- Drop engine back in, fluids, drop tiller on it, and run it (got to get ground tilled for the wifey)
Then, I can basically do the same to the other 1450 (along with upgrading wiring as I did on the first one).
