After 7 years I'm finally going to restore this one. I think I've collected all the parts I need. ------------- Tractors; If it runs, use it. Motorcycles: Ride em like today is your last day. |

It looks a lot better in pictures than it does in person. Engine rebiult 4 years ago. Came apart in 4 hours and now sits on 4 pallets in the shop. I think it will take a little longer to put back together. Found a lot more wrong as she came apart than I thought. ------------- Tractors; If it runs, use it.

Yep. If it can wear or break, it will after 60+/- years. I "budget" $2000 when I start rehabbing a CA and generally end up spending more than that. Never done a G but it looks like one would be a fun project. Hopfully you can get yours back in shape and still have a few $$ left in the bank. Keep us updated ------------- What this country needs is more unemployed politicians-and lawyers. Currently have: 1 D14 and a D15S2. With new owners: 2Bs,9CAs,1WD,2 D12s,5D14s,3D15S2s, 2D17SIVs,D17D,1D19D;1 Unstyled WC |

| one advantage of restoring a G is that you don't need much for lifting equipment, do ya? Good luck with the project, Darrel |

Quick, Ibleed....do something, it seems to be dissolving! LOL ------------- I am still confident of this; I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |

| Har har har... I see the obligatory oil spill right in the way of clean progress. Seems most times it would save time and effort if one was to spill the oil and make a mess then start the work... I helped a guy fix up a G a couple years ago. All fixed up with new brakes and paint and he sold it to a veggie farm to be used in the field. We were happy with that. |
