Default An update and a wish for a Merry Christmas!

Been working on my O. As you know I moved my O to my back porch to be able to work on it in this cold weather..



I took it apart, noticing what needed repair..





Then I bead blasted it to bare metal and painted the pieces.. lots of pieces!

Here are some of the bigger ones. Stored in my kitchen/dining room..



Started putting it back together (again in my dining room because it is warm and comfortable).





I am rebuilding my steering column, just waiting for the parts..

The engine will be last.. I already rebuilt the carb and starter/generator.

I might mount my new front tires today.. I got to be careful not to let the rebuild get too far as to not be able to get it out the door...

Merry Christmass!

PS.. I was at a friend's the other day for a visit and got talking about my yellow fever and mentioned I was looking for a Haban Sickle Bar Mower. He ups and says he has one behind his shed.. Sure enough there was one.. He is giving it to me. Said it came off of a Cub. I will get some pictures as soon as I go and pick it up.. Merry XMas to me!!!
