Since there are no before pics I'd suffice to say it looked like crap. Lol

Indeed it did !

Next project I'm looking at......anybody got an idea as to the manufacturer on this one ? From the right side rear pic, it doesn't appear to have the gear box of a New Idea design, but it does (or did ) appear to have had a wood bed originally. (The Oliver was a metal bed, but thin, and rusted out. I replaced with white oak).

Don't know, but I took the running gear off one and it is now my wood wagon, shire looks the same . I may have a few bits and pieces if you need.

Thanks Clint. I might take you up on that, if I get it.

The photos are from a CL ad, I haven't actually seen the machine yet. It 'appears' to be in better shape than the Oliver was to start with, except someone has replaced the original wood with plywood.

Nice job. I've got a similar vintage in the tool shed but with a PTO apron and slinger.
Inspired now to haul it to the shop for some serious restoration and paint work.
