Looks like your doing it right, Bear. Must be you have a good warm shop, to be painting with snow outside. I'm re-doing my Row Crop 77, but I'm waiting for 70* weather, before I can paint.

Lookin' good, Bear...

That's not a wheatland model is it?

[lt230s]

Nice work Bear.
I always like those "green" tractors.

[bear]

That's not a wheatland model is it?



no its a fixed axle row crop aparently a rare find according to the harcore Oliver guys

[Nathan Werneburg]

looks like a fine project

[bear]

here it sits outside waiting for a good day to sandblast it 2nd pic is the tank after the leak was soldered

[bear]

the seat was in bad shape rubbers were shot pins needed to be built up and bushings made

[bear]

arms after the teeth had been built up and filed they were wore enough they just slipped past each other bushings still need to be welded in in this pic

and the finished product who would have thouhgt you could spend that much time on a seat

[bear]

finally got it out of the snowbank that covered it sandblasted and into the shop

[bear]

trying to remember where this piece and all the other ones go

[bear]

looks like I'm finding places for all the pieces

[bear]

time for problems after lining up all the tin the rad cap cover won't close someone sometime has soldered an automotive style cap opening on likely the reason the cover was missing off of this tractor :Disgus: ....so off with all the tin again melt the solder off the add on a little cleanup and an original style Oliver cap fits and now its all back together and lined up with even more little scratches and the cover closes

Another nice job from our brother in the North! Bear you do more with your time than most people. How many tractors do you rebuild a year?

[Team_Green]

[bear]

Carl its hard to say how many in a year some are made to just run while we find all the right parts others are hurry to redo some get completely rebuilt others just parts of them rebuilt my Hart Parr has been apart for 4 years or better and as Team Green saw its still spread all over, on the other hand we just started on a WF Allis we hope to have completely done by July, we'll see if that happens
thanks for the compliments guys and no problem TG we enjoy touring visitors around the toys they're always welcome
