Got her home yesterday and spent a good 2 to 3 ours today cleaning it up. Cleaned up great. The seat is nice. For some reason now that I sprayed out the inside floor with a hose I smell a musky smell.

Anyway, waxed the hood but I am not sure what the fenders and top are made of. Is it plastic or fiberglass? Pretty faded.

You need to pull the rubber floor mat up and dry out the floorpan. Likely there is water under it making that smell.

It's about to take its maiden voyage to the farm. Had to get that stinky mildew smell out of it. I dried all that subfloor out and sprayed with Lysol and I think I am now back in business. That would have sucked if I messed up my new used tractor! She'll be spraying and discing up some fields ready for some RR alfalfa and other goodies!

What size disc are you pulling with it?

10 foot IH 37 disc followed by a 11 foot cultipacker. Been thinking about buying a 7 foot 3 pt disc for my smaller plots. Should be easier to maneuver. Also considered a tiller but a 7ft 3 pt disc is around $500. I also drill with a great plains ng705 that our county conservation office rents.
