I need to paint it.
I've also been working on putting the gearbox and three point on and made some progress with that also. This 125 had a hydro lift on it, but it was removed when I bought it (Sminkey has beautifully restored it too, I might add) so I used the rockshaft and handle from one of my 73's to put a lift on it then I put a three point on it and made an adapter to use a sleeve hitch since the tiller pin is stuck in the hitch. It works well. I just need to tidy some things up.
I made the sleeve hitch from plans found here. It was slightly modified to fit my skill level but I think it will work. I need to paint it the proper color, though... 
Forgive the pictures... They are a little blurry as they were taken with an iPhone with an otterbox on it...
Anyway, what do ya think?
