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.  ------------- 30+ A-Cs ranging from a 1928 20-35, to a 1984 8070FWA, Gleaner R52 |

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! |

Super nice job. I know what your saying about keeping her for good, after all that work you kinda get attatched to them. ------------- Sucess is how high you bounce after hitting bottom. Gen. George S. Patton |
