You guys do good work. I use my small tractor in the marine business and they are the only way to go.

Thanks guys. It is a fun project.

@Diamondpilot; Our B also works in the marine business. It has a hard life, but it works great.

The loader is finally on the tractor. And everything works! A new bucket is on order and we will also replace the seat.

That's something to be proud of... :thumbsup:

Very nice job. It makes me want to tear my parent B8200 down and restore it.

You should, they are great little machines. Nice old school tractors, not at all like my new B2620. A B8200 is well made and simple, even I can understand how everything works. :confused2:

really nice:thumbsup: how come you did not straighten the bucket and paint it?

By the way, the old guy in the picture comes over every day to check out the progress. He is in his eighties and is an old school tech guy, he really know everything there is to know about engines and such. He gave us some great tips, not only on the tractor but also on the car I did before this project. We call him the mumbler because we can hardly understand what he is saying.:laughing:
