The kids are starting to turn a corner - they've taken pretty much everything apart that can be taken apart.
The differential is pretty much the only thing left. (this picture's a bit old). I almost feel like taking that apart just to say the tractor was COMPLETELY dissassembled, but - I think we're close enough.
Starting to sandblast parts and we even dragged the spray gun out and got some yellow on the front wheels.
The other wheels in the picture are for a side project - another jd manure spreader. (and any gray you see is surfacer over epoxy primer - and was ultimately covered with paint on the flip side (wheels were painted lying flat - flipped the next day to finish the other side).
Funny, It's been a long slow winter of grease and rust - once you see some shiny new paint, the project gets exciting again.
