More pics of MT372 restoration

[BTackett]

Here are a couple more pics of the MT372 that I have. I am almost to a completion and now it is just assembling everything back. As you can tell, I like pictures and I know that they have helped me several times seeing others so I post a lot of mine.

Wow!

That sheet metal looks great. Did you sand blast or just hand sand?
I think I remember you found decals somwhere right.

I had everything sandblasted, wheels and all metal including side grills and breather cap. I used a small monument business here in town. They do small items a whole lot cheaper than an actual sandblasting company.
The off-white paint code is Dupont Choma base 941-26K white. It is not the exact original paint code as it was originally made by sherwin williams but crossed to Dupont numbers. Looks really nice. I got the MT372 hood decals from Valley Power for about $20 ea. Keep looking for more pictures after this weekend when I work on it some more.

Thanks! I seem to go this route on everything that I get my hands on. Here is another resto I did. 1977 CJ5

Hhhmmm, I wonder what is next after the Mitsu???

Well, I have already kinda started on it but don't tell anyone.

I guess you see by now that I like pictures.

I will keep adding tractor pics to this thread as it comes together.

Just saw your post and pics. Great job. I am in process of a similar resto on my Beaver. Know it won't be stock, but I plan to coat the tops of the foot plates with rattle can truck bed liner, and also the undersides of the fenders.
Looking forward to see pics of the finished product.

I will be attaching some more tomorrow night. I got it running today. I really hate starting one after replacing the fuel lines. Air in the lines is a PITB.

wow, that thing makes my eyes well up a little..It;s like brand new!

I know mine would take hundreds of hours to get back right, what with the sheetmetal damage and all (tree), but It's mechanically perfect otherwise. I used it to snatch out 8 azalea bushes a few weeks ago.

Mine has the Ag Lug rears (loaded) and the Tri-Rib narrow front tires.

Did yours come with the Haban 50" MMM?
