my restoration of a 1276

ignore the last one was trying to put in a link! new to this by the way

Made lever for valve, adjusted the foot pedal clutch, also finished the carving! Now to get it back thru the 26-1/2" door so I can put tires on and take her for my first ride!

Almost forgot, Geno that is stainless. Notice no blue a little wire wheel and some steel wool never know it was heated.

Really fell in love with doing this restoration. Kind of do not wanna take it out of shop. so I will be looking for another! The friend who gave me the 1276 wants a Wheel Horse to mow his lawn, gonna look for one in 70"s or later. Tractor is getting moved out of shop today , but it is raining so might not get first ride in today! Not sure who I am kidding on that one has to slow down sometime! TGIF

Forgot to add these pictures of what was on tractor in place of the simple lever!
