They packed up the Daytona 675. Due to emissions. I've heard that the Daytona 800 is coming out on the grapevine.

Bit of progress on the 65
Got the old wheels stripped down the bolts had been welded in.
Then blasted the rims and welded around the lugs as they were fairly thin due to corrosion
And also built abit of the red items on to her aswell fitted dash parts etc

Hi folks
A few more of the 65 still blasting, these are the last items now so its paint paint paint from now on
I had to go out on a breakdown so not much to update with
But im just keeping you imformed.

Oops i seem to have not taken as many as i 1st though
Never mind at least it gives you an idea of the before and after of the blasting process
We have recently just swapped from crushed glass to aluminum ox media in the blaster with very pleaseing results even on very heavily scale rusting
Next week i should have a few good pics get wheels and new tyres on and maybe take for a run out.

A step nearer on the 65 wheels
Got the center mounting holes welded up as they had spun and the bolts were welded in
Been busy today so not many pics im affraid

@SMID

Also got another job in to just get up and running or put back together as the customer called it
On further inspection cracked head and brakes need refurb as there is a story to why its had a replacement axle
The list grows....

And also had a go at the 362 stipped cab down glass out straightened left door up and washed it
Radiator looked suspect so thats out for recore and waterpump had slight play new bearing and seal for that also
Got a pto seal to put init and a full service then its ready for another wash down and strip to paint its currently 4thish in the cue

Been busy alright ! That 65 looks just like one I tried to buy a couple years ago actually glad I didnt get it now .The wiring on that age of 362 is fully better than the older ones with speed chart next to the dash .Every thing replaced on that ones been done on the one here , thats so savable it will be better than new

It almost seems a shame to paint the 362 as its really quite nice other than the red.
Yes will be spot on when its done

Afternoon well the 65 is finally up and running abd driving after the paint process been for a run out on her to address any issues only issue was fickover abit high and max over reving slightly other than that little adjustment everything perfect which makes me wonder but a bit of luck now and again is allowed i guess
So i will shut up and let you look at the pics the bonnet is currently getting a few coats of primer and a red guide coat this afternoon so i will picture that process for you all then you seen the full process start to finish of this tractor.
