Ok guys... lots of progress.

hoods (both sides), fenders, etc are all painted.

actual tractor will be going to sand blasting soon, we are removing the rims to get powder coated.

Super excited.... this thing is going to be over the top.

Looks good. Feel free to send my your fenders

Honestly we have spent SO much time and money on this rig, not sure I'll be super quick to do another one.

But excited to get it done, ways to go but getting closer.

You can find my other posts to read more about how "nuts" I am.

all wiring, hoses, emblems, seats, etc etc are new.

Hey Colby,
Good to have you back!! been missing your posts,Wondering how the 560 was coming along but as a fellow poster scolded me saying;
" GIVE HIM A BREAK, The man just got married,
and he has something better to pamper then his 560 at the moment!".
560 seems to be progressing well,As for cost that you mentioned,Don't keep track of reciepts,They will try to dampen your fun.Can't put a price on pride ,accomplishment,enjoyment and the fact that you'll have a very nice tractor for work or play.
Keep us posted and many pictures. Tony

I think its great.I am just about done with my 1954 Super C. Finished my 1947 M 18 months ago. My wife of 20 years thinks iam crazy. She tells everyone i have 2 tractors and only 2 acres. But she understands my love for farmalls. I told her '' I could have worse habits''.

We took wheels off yesterday...

Plan is to get them unmounted and power coated and re-mounted, that way when tractor is done with paint we can get rear wheels back on it.

It's going to sandblasting in couple weeks.
