 Topic: Early B-10 restoration
Posted: 12 Aug 2017 at 3:25pm |

I restore these garden tractors, more work than you think. Marv, you did a great job. If you was closer I would have to have it, if not all 3. Darn it, why do you have to be so far away. Would look so good beside my B-208 and 720's.

Yes, I try to let them help as much as possible. Its great for them to get dirty and learn how things work. We had quite a discussion on torque wrenches this time, Not to mention other lessons, like how to get a blood blister and the proper verbiage to use in such situations.

Doin a great job. I'm pickin up a 718 hydro today that I'm gonna restore. Lotta work but well worth it. These tractors are well built. Don't think new ones today will last 50 yrs.

It will be ready to bring to the Nekoosa Giant Pumpkinfest tractor and small engine show on Saturday, October 4, 2014. I think folks would be interested to see the before and after on this.
Course, you can bring your bigger AC too, if you have room on your trailer! Look forward to seeing you then.

The grill is from Wells Implement. Look under lawn and garden, B series decals and parts.

The badge on the grille is from Steiner Tractor- part number ACS138.
The decal on the toolbox came in the decal kit, I'm not sure where its supposed to go so I cut it out and slapped it on the toolbox. I think it looks pretty good.

I bought the seat from a woman named Mary- I think she lives in Indiana or Ohio. She does excellent work. I don't know what she all makes seats for. Her e-mail is kmgeartheart@juno.com
She said to go ahead and post her e-mail if other people were interested.
I think it was $80 for the seat, backrest, and two armrests.

Hey Marv,
Did you have your seat recovered or did you buy all new?

I have tool boxes for the B1 and B10 tractors. They are 10 in. long. The box for the B12 and up used a 12 in. long box. Very nice job on the restore.
