Very nice work. Cool as a winter breeze.

Idk if I mentioned it yet or not. I’ve received the third seat for this tractor and they again, sent me the wrong seat so there’s another setback. I did, however, find some aluminum screen for the grill today so… one step closer.

This weekend should be the completion of the tractor itself. It’s been pretty rough winter so far. It’s pretty much stuck where it is for now because the ground is so saturated even the cars are sinking in the gravel. The only thing that should be left after this weekend are the tie rods. I want to get it home and get the loader down there before I pull the tie rods back off. Neighbor pulled all the white parts off and repainted them so I don’t even know what they look like yet.

Fabulous job! Good for you. I admire people who have the skill and ability to do something like that. The thing looks stunning. Something that doesn't rely on 5000 computer chips to function is a thing of beauty in my mind.
