With a little work it started and loaded for travel under its own power

And a view of the other side

It was decided to remove the Farmall distributor and use a vertical Delco Remy

The gear box open and the old goo removed, a complete teardown and cleaning was needed

Blasted, cleaned, relubed, and painted with new points, condensor, rotor, dust cover, cap, wires and plugs

The foot clutch pedal had enough wear to sag way over, this wood block is a common temporary fix

The Foot clutch and right brake pedals will be bushed and a new shaft installed.

Something has fallen on the tractor and ruined the steering wheel and broken the quadrant

The shift lever is also bent

The old steering wheel is removed by cutting off the spokes,
then cutting the hub almost through to the shaft and splitting it

The broken quadrant before and after removal

The hydraulic control lever bend is evident when next to the one from a parts tractor

The steering post from the parts tractor is blasted and primed

Installed for a test fit with a new quadrant

The switch box is extra full

There is a toggle switch that turns on the rear lights through a flasher

Both the bullet light and the extra light were meant to flash

The switch for the ignition was on the bottom and hard to find or reach

The only way to fit these where they are accessible is to move the fuse to the side

A test fit before cleaning up the wiring panel
