Wow. Nice work.
Was the front emblem in that nice of shape, or did you redo it?

The emblem is a re-pop. It is all metal. I ordered it from dennis carpenter.

WHAT??? It is no longer topless?

The pics do not do it justice, it could be a trailer queen, even though he does not think so, for all the work he has put in. I especially that heat shield he built.

Hardly a trailer queen. There are plenty of areas for painting improvement. I am going to have to mask it off and put another coat on the hood. I am also struggling getting the hood door adjusted. The back of the hood lines up perfect but the front overlaps the nose cone and there is no more adjustment on the hood door or nose cone. I dunno.

I am thinking of ordering the nose cone from carpenter. You can see in the pic that one side is not quite right and It is throwing everything off. Thoughts JohnW?

Could be since that nose cone was beat up when you got the tractor.

If you look at the picture of the grille you will see on your left that the nose cone is at a different angle at the seam where it meets the hood. This nose cone was in bad shape to begin with, I just thought that we had gotten close to it's original shape, good enough to work anyways.
And thank you for the compliment.

Beautiful job, that is some nice work. It looks wonderful and I can't wait to see more. You're representing MTF well!

He has done some really nice work on it and I am proud of his results even if he does pick it to pieces. Of course we all see flaws in things we do that no one else would even notice.

It sure has come a LONG way from that sad $200 tractor that followed us home that day.

With lots of help from JohnW.

Jughead,

Amazing job. I have a 1958 641 that needs a big rehab. It has an old box steel loader on it, manure bucket and manual bucket release. She has been sitting a while, but your pictures are an inspiration to get going.

Thanks, Bruce

I love seeing these old machines get new life breathed back in to them. Hurts me to see one get parted out.
Restored or not they are great machines.
Thanks.

Fabricated heat shield. The origianal did not direct the heat away from the fuel tank enough for me. Inspiration was one that JohnW had made for his with a few tweaks. I still must get one made for him.
