Getting the '49 MT ready to get restored by a friend

[hoffmtim]

Are you going to leave it 12volt or put it back to the 6 volt? I see it has an alternator on it.

Mike R., Just gonna leave it 12 volt. The purists will cringe, but I'm not trying to win shows with the tractor it's just for me to enjoy and maybe parade a few times. Some updates as the painting has begun..

Your tractor's looking great. Tractor shows start next weekend, April and May pretty much every weekend. Not much going on after early June, gets too hot until September.

All done! Waiting for a break in the weather to load her up and bring her home.

Excellent restoration. The M is on my wish list. I would have gotten one by now, but I became hooked on JD B's--love those 2-cyl Johnny Poppers.
