Circle Cub (4 digit) Restoration

[Shaneard]

I got this tractor from my brother for the trade of a shotgun. He got it from a friend of ours who's dad passed and he and his brothers didn't want it. I just need to paint it red and it's done.

Front axle.

Finals.

Decided to make my own brake drums instead of buying them.

 

[Shaneard]

Got some brake material from McMaster Carr and made them too. The brake rod on one of em was missing a few threads so I ran a die up on it and welded it then ground it round and took die off.

 

[Shaneard]

Straightened front wheels out where they were bent, wire brushed them & wasn't satisfied so sent them to sand blaster then burn off oven & primed them and installed new tubes/tires.

 

[Shaneard]

Took the rear rims to be burnt, blasted and powdercoated silver. Centers were burnt & blasted. Primed and new tires/tubes installed.

 

[Shaneard]

The rear wheel bolts were shot, decided to save them for the circle dot head.

 

[Shaneard]

Fenders were in great shape. Had them burnt off then wire brushed & primered.

Rebuilt the hand lift and welded up some worn places etc.
