Welded in pieces and started bodywork until my sander failed, I guess it was inevitable since the sander was almost 50 years old

Back at it again, since I raised the hood I now need to fix the hood and add metal in places that I originally notched out.

Finally after almost 3 years, l’m back at it. I had noticed that that I had placed the hood in the wrong location, should be above the frame not below it so I raised it up 2” which meant I had to raise steering wheel, also installed a bigger steering box

Good morning all, not use to getting up early anymore, love sleeping in being retired. Heading to my old job for shift coverage this morning, first time in more than a month. Just cannot turn down the money they pay me but it's nice when you can choose when you want to work.

Happy New Year from Canada 🇨🇦

Evening folks, so I didn’t get to work on the replica since I retired but I did make a few flags for friends and family. They are 2x4 make from pallets, made one for myself and the next thing I knew I had made over 20, had to stop as it was becoming a full time job[emoji2957] Will probably start...

Here’s my dad’s 46 JD B when I sold it And here it is after the guy restored it

I knew that my image shack pictures disappeared but I had put more on. I will have to look and see if those are gone too, if so I will see if I can repost them. Here a link to a thread Building a John Deere H 1/2 Scale Replica Canadian Antique Tractor/Canada's Vintage Tractor-Building a John...

Yeah I thought I would get it finished this year but really never had time, hopefully I can get it done next year. I have got a few things to put on it but never got time

Hello all, been a long time, thought when I retired in July 2020 I would then have time to keep up with this thread. It seems not to be the case, I have less time now then when I was working. Not complaining, enjoying retirement for sure. Hope all is well with everyone

Changed head gasket today You can see where the gasket is damaged And where is blew by on the head Clean up head And installed new gasket, notice the size difference of the new gasket. Ready to mow again

Seems like it is the head gasket, known problem with this style engine, a design problem with the lack of head bolts in one area. Cost of new gasket is about $25 and it is pretty easy to change

Must be a new thing with them, got a Briggs that is in my replica project that is over 50 years old and still runs great
