What did you do to your tractor today?

[Sutol]

Well...........
I took the rear mudwings off the Ford 1200 and steamed the tractor off.

Removed all the paint from mudwings with a blowtorch and wire brush ready for de-rusting and painting.

weather is a bit cold ( 4c ) for painting so maybe get some base coat on and see how it goes.

I am just having fun with the following statement. What side is the steering wheel on ?
I learned a new term ( mudwings ).
Out here in the Colonies we do not get out much.
This you might know, I built a 5 Bar Wooden Estate Gate in the Hook style. I need to get the pics up as they are still in the camera. I completed it a few weeks ago.

Steering wheel is on the right of course

I thought mudwing was an americanism, we call them mudgaurds as they gaurd the driver from the mud

Love this forum but I'm a long way off.....do have an auntie in Florida though

I pulled the tie rod ends off of the 961 to get the local tractor shop to match them up with some new ones. They are discontinued and i can't find anyone that makes them.

I'm getting ready to sell my 1983 Kubota B6200. A couple of days ago, I changed the oil and oil filter, blew out the air cleaner, and changed the anti-freeze.

Then I looked at the faded paint on the fenders and a little surface rust on the fender near the battery. So yesterday I took all the orange sheet metal off.

I'm going to be gone for a week, but when I get back, I'll sand the sheet metal and paint it for the next owner.

Thought about it ... as in whether or not I need to get some diesel for it ... from here in my office

Paid the dealer to remount the remotes that he originally mounted

Started cleaning the rust off the front loader ready for painting.

Welded the old seat base on to the replacement seat.

Didn't quite decide today on which colour paint to use.
