My plan was to pull the top cover and rebuild the hydraulics, put the rebuilt stuff into one of my running N's then rebuild that and put it in the other N. Now my SIL wants to fix the parts tractor for his daughter and paint it pink.....so should I let him have the parts tractor? Or kick him dead in the butt for even thinking of this?

Just get the SIL drive the pink N in the local parade every year. That'll keep him in touch with his feminine side ;-) Colin [Reply]  [No Email]

When I made the original post I thought that everyone would get a good laugh out of it. Then figured I'd have to do it on the QT. Now when I get a start on it I'm going to have to make photo record of it and post it here. Rick [Reply]  [No Email]

A guy around here has a pink JD B. Many cancer survivors in the area have signed their names on it. Also there was a pink Farmall on TV a couple weeks ago that was at the Minnesota State Fair.

I'm not a fan of a tractor in pink, but might look kinda neat if the red was replaced with pink. The all pink ones look like they fell into a bucket of paint. The WRONG color paint. If it will get the kids into, do it. [Reply]  [No Email]

Due to the kids allergies only 2 got to come to the farm but those two played on the tractor in the pictures. It is the same tractor I played on when I was a kid. My grand father got it around 1940 and now I have it. 5 generation one this one tractor and I have the original owners manual for it to boot. In the picture that is the son driving it in a show.

Then find out if the engine is repairable (cracked block) or if I'm going to have to find a new block for it. The tractor is complete, tin is ruff but that can be replaced or repaired. Then all it would need is tires. If I'm putting up the tractor is will be for all 3 of my grandaughters! Pink underbelly and greay???? Rick [Reply]  [No Email]
