Progress guys!
Next up, double check valves (we had cylinder re-done) then install mount for fuel tank & all the control as they will be here in couple days from chrome shop in TX... then dash & all electrical.

| thx for the smile.... told the guys about the 2012 560 comment, they loved it!
Honestly when dad & I decided to re-do the 560 at the Heritage Tractor Drive back in 2010 (http://www.heritagetractoradventure.com) we both agree it need to be nice.... dad would be impressed.
check out some of the last parts that came in today... very cool looking wire clips.

| I'll bet your dad is looking down & just shaking his head....
"That boy..I swear !!".......... "That old tractor ain't worth all that".......
Bet he's got a real grin on his face after he says it though !!
That 2012 560 is really going to be a show stopper...congrats !! |

| wow
I really enjoy the pics.
A all-out restore is out of my reach, budget wise,
but I sure like checking them out at shows. (and here)
great job |

| oh gosh i hear you... it did get over the top at some point, the plan turned into a all in re-do and once to you go down that road there is no return.
I was little worried about it... but honestly all the hard work and yes ($$) has really paid off, the fit & finish is amazing.
Best of luck... trick to all these projects is to make it yours!
