Default Another new addition to the family..

I just picked up most of a 2284 last night. It needs a few parts, and a cleaning. I already know it needs a cork gasket and axle housing seals... and an engine and hood

Everything is wet back around the rear. But the tires are good, steering is good. I paid $300 for it and drove 3 hours both ways, I probably overpaid a bit I think, but I'll have the Super I have always wanted when all is set and done.

I am wondering about the front tire clearance to the axle beam though. Seems awfully close. Is this a bent axle or just an extra fat (over inflated) tire? The other side has about 1/4" to 1/2" clearance and feels inflated the same. I didn't check tire pressure yet.

I'm going to have to do something to treat my Yellow Fever soon, my almost 13 year old daughter is becoming embarassed by all the parts tractors in our yard and driveway now.
