It has wheels again! And brakes that work! And a new steering wheel! And it runs! This was a lot more complicated than it might have been, due to parts issues. And time issues. But it works! Now to fix the Bush Hog…and then maybe this winter work on the bits in front of the driver….
Then maybe we’ll build a sprayer that will work for herbicides and water (two different tanks) then maybe we’ll get underway….God willing.
I’ll get pictures in a bit, suffice it there was general agreement that the new tires are frankly both fierce and sexy.
For those who haven’t a clue see below:

Well done! Thought of this project over the weekend – we were at the Charlotte Tractor Parade (a cool event indeed) and I watched a fellow on a similar vintage Ferguson bouncing on the brakes trying to keep his machine from running into the tractor in front of it as they went down a grade….
Which is precisely the reason that it still isn’t quite Running yet, Scott wants to get them a little tighter so that no load will push it down hill….never mind its own weight. The school of: ‘step on the brakes and it STOPS’
