Tim's C-161

There may still be a skirmish or 2 but I have won the war. I told her resistance was futile...

wow them some clean parts and i like that shop press i see too......nice

Well, there are 2 more pieces to blast I forgot. The bracket is cut off the stack, cleaned up and ready, and the PTO parts are cleaned up along with a newer clutch plate with more material on it that fits the PTO the way it should.

Now it's suppertime again already.

She's coming along really good. Tomorrow will be doing the new front wheels and going over everything that gets painted red along with some odd and end stuff. The red should all be painted on Monday, I think, Mondays turn really wild around here sometimes lol.

Oh by the way...

Today is Timmy's Birthday so everybody sing along lol.

Happy Birthday to him....

Thanks for singing with me Nappy, I sound pretty bad by myself...

The front wheels and a few other small pieces are ready. It's gonna be really nice to have a tririb setup for these tractors that doesn't tear up the grass and looks really good. The new wheels, tires, tubes, HD bearings and bushings cost the same as a set of the Firestone triribs alone and they don't set the tractor up in the front or dig up the grass.

A lot of the panels were pretty rough so I spent some time re-profiling a lot of them, especially the rear pan and hood. A good knotted wire wheel does a great job at this. They came out so good I did the rest of the panels, I tend to get carried away you know. Some days I wish someone would carry me away lol.

Also, the new rear LED lights are fitted and new holes drilled, of course the wires come out in a different spot on those...

Motor is done, framework will start here shortly.

Got some red done, it should be ready to unwrap now.
