It's amazing what a little soap and elbow grease will do to a tractor. It cleaned up nice!!! :shock:


In all seriousness, this is my Grandpa's tractor he's had almost all the years that he farmed. When he retired from farming, he sold everything but his H and C. This was a restoration (or whatever you want to call it) that I did as a surprise to him. I could not think of a more fitting tribute to such a great man. Needless to say, he was a happy camper the day I showed the C to him after we had it all done. I don't know if he believed it was his until he saw his old seat cover on it! Anyway, I am glad we were able to do this for him. It was worth every penny.

He'll be looking for all sorts of reasons to drive that around now!
You won't be able to keep him off of it.

Thanks guys. I had a of the work done by a guy near my hometown. He did a great job, and I can't take a lot of the credit.



Gordo- we didn't end up using the original grill...it is past straightening. I bought a used grill that also needed a lot of work, but not near as much as Grandpa's. I bought those grill forming tools off the internet. They actually work pretty well.
