Lots of yellow happening now...
I matched my paint to the steering gear. I hit the gear with a little carb cleaner before the pic which brightened it a bit as the steel starts to show through, otherwise, it was a near perfect match.

Looks great so far Josh! Now i'm excited to start on my older b-10! My restored b-10 i did the same way you are doing, took a few months to finish, but as has been said, you will feel really proud when she's all done! Can't wait to see more |

Finally got my extra paint...I shot the tranny with it's last coat this morning, and all my bits and peices are done too. The only thing I have left is a clean and paint job on the engine, and I can begin rebuilding!
I picked up that little engine hoist a month back for $5 on CL. It works awesome, and has been VERY helpful.
Manufacture Date?

That is one neat lift! Swell price too. This is shaping into one fine looking project, I am now looking forward to painting my 112! |

I think my next restoration will be far less extensive...this bolt-by-bolt stuff is tough on the mind! I want to USE it, not wait for paint to dry. I started putting on some decals and put my clutch pedal assembly back on the frame today. As soon as I get some time, I can really let loose and fly...start bolting stuff back together. I do need to get a pile of new grade 5 bolts, as I plan to use mostly new hardware. There is light at the end of the tunnel, and my hope is to photograph the reassembly moreso than I did the rest.
That lift will pretty much pick the tranny up, right off the tailgate, and set it on the ground, if need be. |

Got the engine back together today. The shrouds were blasted nad painted, the rest was done by hand, with various wire wheels. I plugged in new wiring from the Magneto...had a nice big mouse nest in there.

Rebuilt my front axle. The steering on this thing was horrendous. I was actually missing the rear wishbone support, which in turn elongated the axle bolt hole.
First I knocked out and replaced the spindle bushings to clean up the slop that was there
Then I drilled out the axle and mounting block to allow for a larger bolt. With tips from a fellow Michigander Allis guru, I added Oilite bushings at the friction points. This setup is nice and snug, and will keep from wearing my axle etc. I figure with the loader, better safe than sorry

Nice work Josh! Looks great, i have the same engine, just put it in my older b-10 about a month ago, now i know where the breather hose is supposed to go!
I might have to do the same with my steering on the older b-10, very sloppy and worn. |

| If you're going to put a loader on it,why not put the flat roller bushings under the spindles? It'd probably steer much easier! |
