Started today to break the JBI down in prep for painting. Hated to stop using it, but if I don't get it started I never will get it done. Plus the lift is getting weak & a NOS hydro & diff will be going in. Didn't get too far today, but tomorrow is my day off cow duty, so should get lots more taken apart.

Yep, I've been quite a while on this one. Seems as years tick by that it takes longer & longer to finish projects. Combo of older/slower & too much to do at times. Today was a tough day, but I made it through. |

Your decals are a beautiful finishing touch. 
That is one beautiful, mean looking, powerful tractor.

Got the decals all on now, shy of the caps that go over hood hinge bolt area. Have to make decals for those yet. The decals on the fender boxes aren't factory as there were none there OE. There were soem glitches in the paint on one side, so I made these to help hide the spots. I call them my "Action Hogs"!

Got a baffle inside the 2" stainless pipe. Still has some sound, but she does sound good! Really not much louder than my Allis 416. |

The PTO rpm I couldn't get to 2,000rpm like my Massey tiller runs at on my Massey tractor. With the pulley room I could only get it to 1,200rpm, but surprisingly it tills just as well as with my Massey. If I wanted, I could change sprockets on my tiller to get it to speed, but no need since it tills fine, plus if sped up, she'd run too fast on the Massey. Yep, it's Cat 0. |

You'll likely notice...the lower cut-out in the seat back....factory cut it sloppy, all slanted. The dash riser where instrument panel goes is also welded on a bit off kilter. Guess they used eyesight instead of jigs to do these things. That or their jigs were off! |

Well, I just like decals, instrument panel, and getting seat upholstered. She's gonna look pretty decent. Had some major hinkies in the paint, but leaving as-is. She's gonna be a worker anyway! Pics look great, but in person it's not a good paint job at all. I'm still happy. The red came out good and if the black bothers me, then I'll take those parts off later, sandblast to metal & do it right. I knew I was doing a rush job, but my patience isn't what it used to be.

Is this what you were wanting Daniel?
BTW your hat has a stingy brim!
If I tighten my chin strap I can fly in a stiff wind.

All that very shiny red paint is disgusting.
