spring project, VAC

[Soundguy]

got a lil more done.

got hood sanded, and hood, nose, side panels and gas tank primed, as well as a lil metal resto work on the air cleaner, and some prime for it too , after a good dip and cleaning..

adjusted steering.

pressure washed and degreased chassis.

pushed her back away from the garage so I can get her cribbed on timbers and pull wheels off and then see about a lil color next week.

There was a ba-jillion of those things around here "back in the day". (OUTSTANDING Case dealer just up the road a piece) You like NF tractors, you picked the right brand. Case built a bundle of 'em. You'll need an LA and an 800 to go along with the VAC, maybe a 1570 would look good next to it too!

i DO like NF tractors. I'm not familiar with those models.. will have to look them up.

 

[Soundguy]

ok, I miss-spoke. I have seen the 800.. and I have to have one now that I remember them. log ethe 'frog eye' look and the cream color.

I think I know where 2 are in a barn now that we are talking about it..

LA won't be a narrow front tractor...Big "standard" wheatland tractor for the most part. 1570 is a GIANT of a mid 70's tractor. Not a NF ride either, but the big hoss of the 2wd's before Case & IH became one.

800's were hugely popular in this area. I bet there's a dozen or so still "on the farm" within 10 miles of here.

biggest around here might be a 1066 have maybee seen 1 la ever, down here.. them 800's though.. have seen a few.. nice lookers... might have to track one down!
