Thanks for the compliments fellas. I'm really proud of the way it has turned out so far.
I painted the trailing arms last night for the cat 0, but don't have a hitch for it yet. That's one of the things on my bucket list... make a hitch for the 3 point. In the mean time, I bolted the hitch plate back on for now, as I do have a small trailer I'll use behind it some.
There are implements that were used behind this machine, and I'll get some pics of them next time I go over and raid her barn again. I doubt I'll use them much, if at all.
As far as the paint on the tractor itself, I did some rust removal and spot painting around the seat area and battery tray. The front wheels were really a mess and needed a lot of rust removal/paint work on the inside surfaces. They were pitted enough in areas that I decided to go with tubes in the front.
There is still some corrosion/loose paint on parts of it that wasn't visible in the picture I took(poor lighting/no flash) but as I said,I am in a tight timeframe situation, so there will be a lot better paint work coming up later on.
Joe
