Looks good Jon. Inspiring to see it’s your go to tractor. Not ashamed of putting some money into this one as you, Tim, and a couple others have no issues working yours.

Spent a little time today and got some of the weird yellow paint off. There was the outer yellow and then green primer (just like coop has ironically) then the oe beige. The funny thing is why the heck would someone paint over pretty decent paint to begin with and essentially ruin it. Oh well it’s coming along slowly. Used some chemical stripper to make it into a slurry then got as much off with a bondo scraper and rags. Then used carb cleaner to clean up the remains. Great thing is this stripper doesn’t effect the original paint at all which is surprising but boy will it bubble the bad paint in seconds.
