Notes: Don purchased this tractor for 500 dollars. It was in terrible shape, arriving on a flat bed trailer.The engine was seized; paint was shot, with massive amounts of rust. He worked on it for 12 months to bring it back to life.The engine had to be soaked for three months to loosen up the frozen pistons and a hammer was used to knock them clean out. New rings and bearings brought ‘er roaring back to life. Each part of this tractor was painted separately before the being bolted back together.

 

Other Modifications: Had to remodel the rear end to pull a Swather, so the original hydraulics lifts were lifted off in lieu of a remote system.
