Currently I'm working on sandblasting and priming the step plates and associated hardware, as time permits. One of the step plates had some damage to two of the raised cleats so I had to weld it and grind/file/drill them to match the others.
By the way, I haven't done much work to my Massey 135 tractor lately because I've been busy doing other things. However, I plan to resume working on it after my remaining parts arrive. That just leaves the machine shop work (flywheel and connecting rod bushings), which I'll probably have done within a week or so.
In addition, I've decided to prolong my Massey 135 restoration project throughout the winter and plan to have it finished by spring. Originally, I had planned to complete it by fall and still could if I really wanted to, but fall is always a busy time for me and I don't have a pressing need to use my tractor right now so I'd like to take my time and do it right.
Soon, I'll post a few pictures of the progress I've made recently.
