    Well I got it home and it's gonna need some love but this one actually looks easy to work on! I must say it's pretty nice for the age.

    Next will be the full restoration of the hood. I'm gonna have to refiberglass the front lip on it and fiberbond a few small areas of damage. Then it gets new decals and paint! I'll probably do the body too. There's only theee bolts that hold the body on the rest fell out. :rofl: :lol:

    Every John Deere I have had has been a character builder this one is no exception.

    Just to get the pullys loosened up and the belts on right. What a pita. Electric pto is good so that's a win!!!
