It's official, I started tonight. Pic Heavy. Worked for about 2-1/2 hrs and got it stripped down from running condition to rolling chassis.
Here's what I started with, bought at auction
First order of business was the dang steering wheel rusted on
It wasnt coming off so I cut it off and am going to use the wheel and shaft off my ST-16 parts tractor. I am also going to use the dash off of it as it is in near perfect shape, where as my SS-16 dash is cracked all to heck.
Doner tractor:
Wheel cut off:
Starting to come apart
Engine lifted off
Making sure the ST-16 Dash would fit
Dash fits great
Piles of parts
The boss and one of my 4 legged helpers checking in
Supposed to have a chance of rain tonight, so I soaked her down in Simple Green and pushed it outside. Maybe mother nature will help clean it:thThumbsU
Random pic showing my tiny work space. 10 x 12 shed I built 6 yrs ago.
Thats all for tonight. More tomorrow evening after I work on her some more after work.
