 Topic: Dang Near Done
Posted: 01 Sep 2011 at 11:12pm |
Well I had posted some pics last week, but this week things are nearly complete on this '53 WD-45 that I am restoring for a customer. Kinda wished it could stay in my shop for good, but I doubt he will let that happen.

Fortunately the intruder is not owned by us, but is in for work. (Go Figure) LOL. The only intruder we own is a M-M 445 which was grandpas. I wouldn't mind getting his J-D MT either someday, even thought I am not a green man. Main workhorse on his farm was of course the D-14.

What a beauty! Looks like the right shade of P.O. #1 that I remember when I was around them in the 50s. Course, none, even the ones on display at the fair, looked as good as yours!

Congratulations!
Good Luck!

Would you mind saying what brand of paint that is? The paint (actually the entire tractor) looks totally awesome!

It is Omni Brand PO#1. Get it mixed at a local Auto Parts store in Rochester MN. Very nice paint.

Super nice job. I know what your saying about keeping her for good, after all that work you kinda get attatched to them.
