Thanks for allowing it guys, just didn't want to pee in anyone's Cheerios.
I know we all like the old iron GT's, and I enjoy (crave) the comments you all leave, and to be truthful, I was really going to miss that by doing this 120.
So as long as it's cool with everyone, I'll take you all along on the journey.
I can say, they are pretty crude, plain Jane tractors. It was missing the two front side panels, belt guard, grill and seat pan and upholstery. Got hooked up with a Classic Tractor Fever regular, who knows everything there is to know about the Colt/Case tractors, and has them all in his collection.
After talking with him, he reproduces all the aforementioned parts I was missing, well now I've got that covered.
Transmission is a four speed. Neutral is up/down, instead of side to side like a normal tractor. And the 1st, 2nd is together on the forward left, reverse is straight across to the right, 3rd is rearward left with 4th rearward right.
Yes it's got the Ole Abe medallion. The crudest draglink and tie rod configuration I've seen... The old Kohler K241A runs great, and the trans seemed to work well, so...
Again, I'm glad I get to share this "facelift" with the family.
Oh, almost forgot, no specific hardware this time... Just go down to the bolts bin to get new hardware.
