OK i know it's not all original as far as decals etc are concerned, but it my first restore and it is a working tractor....

I"m no expert on red tractors, but that looks like a nice job! Too nice to use, you sure its gonna be a working tractor?

I think its a fine job well done! One day my 504 will look half that nice. I am curious about the front mounted attachment. It looks like a hydraulic boom pole lift minus the boom extension. Also I noticed it looks like you have a TA on the 300. That is one of the reasons I like the Old Farmall/IH tractors.

Enjoy,

The heck with being correct! That tractor looks very good.

WY JERRY · May 12, 2010

Looks great to me! Hope my M turns out half as nice - it will also get used occasionally.

Dang, workin tractor, hate to see how shiney it would be if it was a show tractor.

SGTK · May 12, 2010

That"s a good one Paul,,,I laughed out loud.

Put a memory foam panel on that back rest and it will be an extreme tractor. Jim

yea the mount on front is for a snow plow...yaa the working tractor might be pushing it alittle, the truth is it is used for plowing snow off my road and skidding an occasional log out of the woods, thats it no field plowing...

Very nice! May I ask where you got the tachometer? I would like to add a tach to my Farmall 300 but it has never had one so I need to find the drive gears and drive cable too. Thanks!

mike paulson · May 12, 2010

got the tach right off this site in the parts section..

Mike,
Beautiful job! I’ll believe it’s your first restoration if you say so but I seen professional jobs that aren’t as nice as yours.
I’ve always wanted a 300. They seem like the “Just the right size” for so many jobs.

I like the International decal you used on the hood in place of the metal original. Do you have the part number of the one you used?

Brian Love · May 12, 2010

nice job! plan to save another?

ScottyHOMeY · May 12, 2010

Heck with the correct police. Strikes me as a labor of love, and I thnnk it turned out pretty durned nice.

Pretty work!! Enjoy and run it safely!

Amazing restoration. Who cares if the correct police approve, long as youre happy with it thats all that matters.

Very nice, I would not pay any attention to anyone who thought otherwise!

wcroom · May 14, 2010
