Update:
So far, I've painted a few more pieces with that blue Ford engine enamel, and the front axle.
Bought a new seat from Tractor supply. I'm in the process of trying to fabricate two seat springs to make the ride better, instead of the two rock hard rubber bushings that are there now.
I also bought a 5-foot rear scraper blade for snow removal, which has been great this winter in SW Pa.
After I got that, I bought some really nice rear ice/snow chains, and a got a front weight bracket..the place I bought the plow from just gave me the bracket from a scrap heap. Right now, I just put two wheel weights I had from my last lawn mower on there, until I get my hands on some suitcase weights. So it's pretty much unstoppable right now.
The headlights are still fried, and I haven't spent the time to find out where that electrical drain is coming from. I just pull the negative battery terminal when I park it...It's just fine that way. More pics to come of what it looks like after all this work.
It's been a fantastic little tractor, and adding that rear blade was a great addition. I have enjoyed it a lot.
