John Deere 317 project!

Got my tires today!! Mounting them was a task, but we got it done and I love them!! Going to sell my old ones to my uncle for 60$

Today I ended up getting out some green paint and touched up all the bad spots(chips,scuffs) and even though it was different paint, it matched 98% to the paint sprayed on!! I also touhed up the rims the other day

hey all, i see its been about 2 months since my last update!! I love the firestones, they really ride nice and leave tracks on dirt and dig in when you turn. lol The 317 is sleeping right now out back in our storage box. At christmas i opened up a set of Vredestien V61 5 rib tires! That will be a project for when i drag it out this spring. I have another topic on here on the 80 cart that came with this new. Restoration is almost complete on that. I have to paint the top rails around it and do the small parts again. Also I am putting in some rustoleum bedliner. Cheap stuff I know, but it'll work for me. I got the tailgate and "80" decals for christmas. I am going to have a local decal guy make me the John Deere and serial number decals. Once its done it will be just like the 317, a worker! So that's it for news on this stuff for right now.
