Farmall F-12 Restoration Progress

Thought I'd throw a few pictures out and update everyone on the F-12 that I've been working on now for the last 14 months. It's coming together fairly well. I painted the wheels weekend before last and the tractor this past Tuesday. I was hoping for a tad darker color gray, but it's growing on me. A few dust nibs here and there, a couple "sags" in the paint and a stray gnat found it's way to my fuel tank, but all in all I'm pleased with how the paint turned out.

Pretty much all that's left now is finishing up my fuel system, resetting and timing the mag, touch-up and tweaking. Now if I can just get it starting the way I'd really like, I'll be set.

Thank you all for your help and advice over the last year or so as I dealt with issues on the mag and the power lift, and of course for the ton of reading of done here over the last year learning on my own form everyones posts and past issues.

Thank you all, and thank you Tom, especially for your help with my timing issues. Hopefully I can see it on through and get it starting like I know it should.

I have an original Blue Ribbon '49 Cub and when I saw the old McCormick Deering Blue Ribbon decal that Maple Hunter offered I knew I had to have a set. Unfortunately the ones they sold were too large for the radiator supports. However after I explained to them what I needed and why, they made a custom size just for my F-12. You can't beat service like that.
