 Topic: Nothing says Christmas like getting tractor parts
Posted: 21 Dec 2011 at 7:44am |
As my Ferguson restoration went along I hatched an devious plan to insure I got what I wanted for Christmas so I looked up all the parts I needed then printed them out and put them in a binder. I then told my wife and daughters that for Christmas they could just pull out a sheet from the book and get that for me. IT ACTUALLY WORKED!

Well they are going to stay in the packages for now as I'm not ready for them yet. Here's a picture of where I'm at with the Ferg. I'm down to just one big part to sand/clean/prime and paint. Everything else has already been painted and ready to go back on. My shop has an attic and it looks like a Christmas tree up there with all these parts and sheet metal hanging from the rafters.

Are you going back with yellow or are you going red? If red, I could use your paint code for my 65. Dave.

David,
It's going back MF-red. I could not bring myself to paint it that baby puke yellow color. I'll look tonight to see if the code is on the paint store paperwork.
Don,
That plow looks great. You don't see many SC plows bigger than a 3 bottom!

How many reindeer DOES it take to pull a 4 btm plow? Would eight handle it, or did Rudolf have to come along for a little more pull?

If it weren't for the last minute, I wouldn't get anything done!

Stan I just finished a ferguson 40 for a customer that looked just like that not to long ago.Nice tractor.I had a heck of a time getting the tie rods off to paint .The left side got painted on the tractor just because it was so hard to get to without taking that steering tower apart. And that flint grey is always an experience to paint on cast

David,
Look here for information on the paint codes. I took this sheet to the paint store when I purchased my paint.

My left side is free/loose so I plan on just sliding it out almost all the way to clean and paint and hope the other sides tie rod is also loose so I can slide it out. It would be better to pull the whole bolster front end off but I decided that I didn't want to go to that extent if I ever wanted to get it done. My shop space is also pretty small which figured into it.
