I really do admire people that can do this type of work, and that can document it. I'm frankly, impressed.

Very impressive, my brother and I painted our NAA quite a few years ago and have only a small idea of the work involved in a restoration project.

Our tractor now looks close to the way it did prior to our paint job.

This tractor got a lot more than just a paint job. It got new tires all around, all of the hydraulic hoses were replaced, because the old ones had rotted and where leaking, new radiator hoses and fan belt, new seat, new headlights. The bevel case seals were leaking, so not only did the seals get replaced but the bearings were destroyed and they got replaced along with one of the bevel cases because the area around the seal had been busted off, I replaced the axle seals while I had the bevel cases apart, I replaced the valve cover gasket and checked the valve adjustment while I was there, the decomp lever was frozen and the decomp wire had been cut off, the LH brake was stuck so I disassembled that and got it working, and now I dicovered it looks like the freeze plug behind he starter is leaking so that will have to be fixed too. It also got all new filters and fluids too. The lady that sounds like she is buying it today will be getting a solid machine for $5000. I have about $2500 into it, plus my time, so I think I will come out okay on this deal.
