The engine was rebuilt in November - it was started and run for about 20 minutes at various speeds around the shop yard.
The tractor was then parked, dismantled, and painted throughout the winter months and finally the wheels were painted and
installed in March, 2012. Lights, decals, reflectors, new seat, etc, were all done in March. The paint job isn't perfect (it
was painted in a dark shop in the winter) and the body has some blemishes (we didn't want to use a bumch of body filler).
The brakes, 3 point hitch, PTO, transmission including the multi power, rear end, differential lock, etc, all work. At this point
in time the new engine still only has about 20 minutes on it.
This tractor was sold at the BC Livestock Consignment Equipment Sale in Williams Lake on May 5th, 2012
