Ready for a Parade

bjrogg:
I posted a picture of  this tractor with a bow awhile back. It was the first new tractor my grandpa ever bought. It arrived on the farm two months before my dad was born. We wanted to get it running for my dads 80th birthday. We got it running but it needed a lot more attention. We got it ready for the parade now and my dad smiled proudly as he putt putted down parade street. She runs like a top now. Still have a few oil leaks to fix, but their both running pretty good for 81 years old.

PS kinda doubt the new tractors will still be running in another 80 years

Pat B:
Cool! I love old tractors and y'all did a great job on the rebuild.   :OK

PEARL DRUMS:
Great looking rig, BJ. What number is it?

bjrogg:
Thanks Pat. It was repainted in 1976 for our bicentennial thrashing bee. We had it running poorly then and it set ever since. We went completely through it this time and cleaned all the sludge out of lines and cases. Good thing to, the oil pump drive coupler was twisted off. Gas tank was a real mess to but we fixed it up better than new.

Pearl it's a 1937 John Deere AR with a whopping 26 hp

I would be so proud do accomplish a task like that.
I was under the impression that oldies like that had a much
narrower front wheel base, I guess they had both as yours
looks very stable.
