Welcome to mom! I reckon a new 12v battery will see it running in no time...

You had blue skies and no rain? These pics must be from summer

Fab job john, even kore impressive in the flesh

what a fab project the sticker at the back says REO which gives a clue. They were bought by Wheel horse in the 60's, don't see many of them around.

Great pics!

Good news!

Nice rig! That's a lot more refined than my camping trips for the last 10 years. As a family we used to have a caravan, and later on a motor home (RV) Since leaving home the best we have is a tent nice in summer, but pretty harsh in spring, it's often below freezing some mornings when we wake up.

Is the ransomes yours as well? Gotta admit ploughing looks fun, I've only ever cut one furrow

I really ought to start collecting some of this literature too, looks really interesting! cheers Steve

good news re: Chris, be good to have him back here and Pam fighting fit!

Great build pics Norm!

If I bought the missus a tractor I'd be in a lot more bother that if I bought if for myself

I think a bit of yellow would look good in your collection Neil...

Gotta admit, if theres one thing that could turn me from horse, it's cub cadets. We've had a tidy example at our local show for 6-7 years.

Wind picking up here too! Had to give up on building the new workshop, didn't fancy my chances trying to hold 4x8 osb sheets down in this

Hehe, yeah I can get in my garage, just....

Plenty of threads on this elsewhere Neil, but it's pretty easy to start small and work up. So I'd start with a small tub/barrel.... Fill to the top with water, add a few tablespoons of washing Soda crystals, not bicarbonate! Find a piece of clean steel and fasten it to the inside running down to the bottom, I usually put this inside a piece of plastic waste pipe with holes in. This stops it shorting out on the piece you are cleaning. Find either a good battery charger, or a good battery with a reasonable charger. You need a good 12v supply. Connect the positive to the clean metal with wire/crocs clips. Try not to let the clips go into the solution. Connect the negative to the dirty piece and lower it into the tank. If you have a reasonable charger the current will move up to around 1A depending on the size of the anode and piece being cleaned. After a few mins you should see bubbles coming from the piece being cleaned, after an hour there will be a brown scum floating on the top. The rest is patience, some pieces clean pretty quick, some take days/weeks. You have to keep cleaning the anode and sometimes help by scraping some of the loose paint away. I think that kinda covers the basics

Yup, Both work for me! Big decals, soapy water, they slide into place

I watched this a few times always makes me smile. The exploding engine is actually favourited on YouTube already!

Me and the kids would love that much snow for about a week... Do you have a returns policy

Nice resto Thanks for sharing

Nice collection!

I thought I'd given a big clue in the top of the thread It was a nice tractor and ran sweet as a nut, we like those Briggs engines. Never had any trouble with them.... Well they aren't temperature tolerant. I have two melted ones up the garden

that is great Neil, thanks for taking the time to scan!

Nice collection, they look better without the gatecrasher...
