Caramel anyone? Ol red belly is getting some love. "New" hydraulic pump, upgrading the shifter, and fixing the push button start.

That was a chore. But for the first time in the 6 years I've owned the tractor, I don't need a strap to hold up the lift arms!


Old pump had a cracked chamber.

I ordered a sub-$2 part off of amazon. Not Prime, but free shipping. I *always* check to make sure it ships from Amazon, but didn't this time.

For less than two bucks, it's coming all the way from China. What a world we live in.

Well, in 6 days my $2 part made it 400 miles, from Xiamen, FUJIAN CN to Changsha, HUNAN CN. They must have put it on a donkey cart.

That’s a good looking old tractor. Great patina.

I love the patina on it. I'd love to soft brush it to get loose stuff off and then hit it with a matte clear coat. But, it's a workhorse so I doubt it'll happen!

the absolutely no prep is why it’s soo nice, soak a rag, rub it down, and burn the rag in your next bonfire

See, now that's a "restoration" I can get down with. My Super A has paint that's so bad I'm honestly considering a cosmetic restoration. It also won't be used nearly as much.

My old Ford is burning oil and smoking. She still getting worked though. Not sure where the oil is getting in either.

Sometimes its cheaper and better for the environment to just keep adding oil and rock on.

I had an old friend w/ a Mitzu truck w/ worn rings that smoked like a banshee but ran like a champ. He'd say, "Well she's over 18, according to the state she can smoke all she wants."
