Re: 100 B (going back together+ paint) non original

today was a good day, i got all the large parts with atleast one coat of paint on it. gonna let it dry over night and spray it again tomorrow. will be putting that parts all back on come tuesday and wednesday. Then to roll it out and get a good look at the paint. and finish up all the grey parts on the paint. before final install of everything. i still got a few parts to buy like the alternator and spark plugs and oil filter. but when you get down to talking about getting the oil and filters you are getting to the end of a long build. so here is where it came from for those who missed it before the crash .

this tractor plus this one

has made one. i have only used the tank and grill along with the radiator and a few seat and floor board components off the second one th complete the first one. i also had to buy a block from a salvage yard that came off a 47'. so here is where she sits as of this evening

.
John i bought a set of decals with the cultivision stickers i am going to take them to a local decal shop and have them replicated to the K with the Kelsey in the center. thanks for the Idea.

Re: 100 B (going back together+ paint) non original

Your eyes aren't playing trick it is a five feet long, the original was broke so I had my dad machine the stub that was left and put a 5/8 brass rod threaded for a shifter. I will cut it to heighth when I figure out what that is. Here are the progress for today, got all the pink painted and will be done with the grey tomorrow. Getting my tires put on the rims tomorrow and picking up an alternator and wire and other wiring stuff.

I will be putting most of the parts back on tomorrow and finishing up paint . Ready to get this thing fired up .

Going to search a junk yard soon for a seat with seat belts. Something like an S-10 that has a cut out for a shifter. Or compact car . So the whole family can ride on it in style but until then I got the original seat and springs on it

Re: 100 B (going back together+ paint) non original

I got her up on her runners today and started the reassembly of all the scattered parts. I quit when I twisted off a manifold stud. Guess I didn't know my own strength. I work the next three days so I may get a little in. I had my dad make the delete plate on the transmission. And my custom gear shift. How do you like the wheel color scheme.

Re: 100 B (going back together+ paint) non original

i had the original Cultivision decals shipped to me. there is a local decal shop here i am going to take the Circle B with the cultivision in and have them make a circle K with Kelsey across it and see if they can change the McCormick to Kelsey's so it would ready Kelsey's Farmall. i will upload a pic when i get them to do it.

Re: 100 B careful it is pink and grey for the final color.

Didn't want you to feel neglected

:lol: :lol: :lol: :lol: Does the pink represent something special? Seems like the site has been a little slow lately but I guess everyone is busy with a sorta early spring. Know I have been. The trac is looking great though and you've done a super job :!: :!: :!:

That color scheme reminds me of my favorite color combo available on '55 Chevy's: Coral and Charcoal.

I see no one else said ,but I for one really like the wheels . They just stand out as if to say look at me & your attention is directed to the wheels . Very pretty.

Re: 100 B careful it is pink and grey for the final color.

i am restoring it for my 6 year old daughter, i told her we would paint it what ever color she wanted it one day when we were in the paint store. that is the colors she chose. pink and grey, i determined what was what but knew the majority was goind to be pink, i got the decals in today and taking them to a local decal shop to have them make a Circle K decal with Kelsey writtne like the culti-vision decals were. and instead of it saying Mc Cormick Farmall it will say Kelsey's Farmall. I have also contacted the Susan G komen Foundation and informed them of the tractors colors and talked to my daughter about supporting a great cause if we were going to paint it the colors she chose. The foundation is sending me pamplets to hand out if asked. only thing they asked was not to put their official slogan on the tractor due to insurance purposes. so i am trying to come up with a slogan to say the same thing but different.

Rocky, hope she is happy with it! My daughter is 4 and I see a pink tractor in my future! FYI, you have the front axle on backwards, it should angle back not forward. Will make steering harder.
