Lots of details to take care of on the 931. Total new wireing. Taking a lot of time to get corrected, and modified for all the new cab lighting.
I have also started a new project on a Case 831C that my dad ordered in for one of my uncles in 1963. This tractor runs great and only need cosmetics and a few minor leaks adressed that I have got under control. I dropped the original wide front out from under it, as it needed all new steering linkage and I had a NF pedistal for it in my stash, so I put it on. Narrow fronts were not common here, but I like the way this tractor looks, and my son and I may have a little fun at the next local antique tractor pull. 830 Case-O Matics seam to do very well at the "stock" (if there is such a thing) pulls
Pulled the old 64 930 wheatland doner tractor out of the shed today and robbed the rear rims and tires off it for the 831C. Tires on 831C were really bad. Spent the day with power tools getting the donner rims ready for paint. They apear to never have had calcium in them and were only showing surface rust.
Was really hot and humid today and I looked like a rusted up Tim Man after removing all the rust from the rims today. Shower sure felt good followed by a couple of barley pops at the end of this workday.. Rims all ready for matalic silver paint tomarrow, if the T-storms that tried to develope this afternoon and did piddle a bit pass.
