Yep snapped them bolts he bought it like thisDid it take the heads off the two back cylinder anchor bolts first?
I'd say if you drill a bit of flat to catch the 4 bolt holes, with a few tacks on the casting .......
No loaderIs that top cover off a loader tractor?
Wondering if the owner has a counter weight hanging on the linkage?
Have you a photo of the chin piece before you started ?Hi all been busy and been on the 65
Its all stripped down now and all what is to be grey is primered up no pics of that forgot.
So here is a few pics of the panels been blasted etc a fair bit of panel beating has bee done aswell we mangaged to save all the bonnet panels,
Even strightend the front side grill mesh's also as the were quite flattend the chin was bent like a bannana due the customer moving around yard with link arms off another tractor the best about working with these old tractors tinwork is the thickness of steel used yiu can beat the living crap out of it and it forms back to shape you weld sensibly with to much warp aswell
The mordern panels you buy now you can hardly tack it without blowing a hole through them.
I will get better pics of tractor shortly but heres a few to keep you going untill the next...
All the bonnet is blasted and has been welded and patched up
Pics to follow
Only thing ledt to blast and weld it is rear wheels they are slightly rotten around the lugs so until next time
Thankyou for viewing
No i completly forgot,Have you a photo of the chin piece before you started ?
Mine was near scrap, I'm amazed that I got it straightened up and fixed , as you say great quality steel in them panelsNo i completly forgot,
But the it had been run into so the front was flattened and underneath had 2 deep grooves where link arms had been used to lift so you can imagen roughly
Yes they take a fair bit of hammer beating tough stuff ,but well worth saving cant beat origanal fitmentMine was near scrap, I'm amazed that I got it straightened up and fixed , as you say great quality steel in them panels
Are you saying tin is not as good on the 100s then ?Yes they take a fair bit of hammer beating tough stuff ,but well worth saving cant beat origanal fitment
