And today began "DE"construction.. here's a couple pics.
And after a couple hours, it looks like this..
Might as well share a couple other projects while I'm at it! The red one is a 47 IH "A", the little green one is also a 47 Fairbanks Morse 2 HP and it drives the 1904 reciprocal saw.
Kewl shots, 34! Spent a lot of hours on one of those little red IH tractors when I was a kid! Dad had one, used it for mowing and raking hay, cultivating corn, etc! The picture of yours brings back a lot of memories!!!!!!!!
very nice saw .guy up front had one abit newer had a brass tag on it that said Holley like number 20 on it . may of went to the scrap yard.i should of spoke up on it
Hey Mike, is that your red pickup, too??
I grew up on that very tractor so it'll never leave the farm as long as I am alive! Same as you, plowing /cultivating/pullin' harrows etc. etc. etc... :LOL:
I'd like to find another! I know there was a smaller version of this saw but I haven't found one ... YET!.. :LOL:
No, that's my uncles, it's a 48 with a 302 / AOD. It's ok.. he drives the snot out of it and it shows. A couple years back he sent it to a "guy" and they painted it. BUT, it looks awful!!! I want to re-do it but he figures I'm to picky!!! :LOL::LOL: He says if I start to do it then I'll tie it up all summer! :LOL::D
So I finished "De-construction" and have begun... cleanup I guess I'll call it. I started to do the cut and buff on the firewall that I couldn't reach with the motor in the way.. already "broke through" the paint so some touchup is now in my future. :mad::mad:
This morning I dropped off the headers at UPS for shipment to Jet Hot for coating. With the good referrals and warranty.. I figure now is the time to make it happen and it should be a LOT better than wrapping!
So nothing exciting to post. Just sanding... and sanding... and sanding.. I hate sanding! :D
While you guys are complaining about sanding I can only wish that mine was at the sanding stage......:3dSMILE::3dSMILE:
It sure is nice to sit here with a smirk about my car - but then there are the 'honey-do's' . The @#$% kitchen - needs a new patio door, counter tops, floor and work lights followed by a new tub and surround in the main bathroom. THEN, I get to take the engine in the '31 apart and fix the strange clunking noises. Too many relatives over the past couple of weeks plus a mega bad head cold/flu that have slowed any forward progress.
Now, Mike, about those missing photos of your 'pain' ....... :eek:
