Re: 1957 Farmall 130
Nice little tractor. Except for the grill, it looks just like my brother's 140.

That's amazing. I had a 1941 Farmall A and the front wheel castings are exactly the same as is the steering box. Yours is 16 years newer.

Re: 1957 Farmall 130
Too add to your private mail.. My 46 2n was more of a weld / braze candidate.
Every bolt I could get at on that tractor had the nut
welded on..!?!?! And just about everywhere else was brazed

Re: 1957 Farmall 130
I think I was told that this same model ran basically unchanged up into the late 60's...
A few new stickers and a shift knob and she'll be all ready for 'work'!

Re: 1957 Farmall 130
I'm only just now becoming 'satisfied' with my welding skills. Thru hours of practice.. i can finally weld halfway decently on my small buzzbox. I have made a few larger projects.. like a heavy middle ramp for my trailer out of 1/2 inch material at work on out big lincold 225a BB.. ( nice welder ).. couse I got to play with all the nice stuff then too.. like the plasma cutter ( neato! ).. and the wire welder.. 200ish amps... ( neato!) again. I've never wire welded but once.. and was very easy.. lots easier than stick.. though surface prep seemed to make a big difference on the wire welder. I will say one thing about the lincoln though.. when you turn it up.. it will really glue some metal together. On that rusty 1/2 inch flad stock I thought I might have penetration problems.. Uh.. not! I think If I would have had chamfering rods I could have severed easilly..

Unfortunately it was the previous owner that liked the sparks and fumes. Instead of replacing about 6 bucks worth of bulk bolts and nuts.. he would just weld the bolt or nut on.. even if it was half way rusted off.
I used a nut splitter, chissle, angle dringer, etc to remove lotsa nuts and bolts.. had to drill some out...
Of those repairs i wasn't too happy.
However he did make a few good braze repairs on the tin that were so good I didn't notice till I took the paint down.. as well as a welded oil pan.. no biggie.. it doesn't leak, and he did that repair about 20 years ago.. etc.
