I should have enough paint left over for an attachment or two, and this little fella. Just not sure WHEN that might happen though...

Each one you do turns out better than the last one, Josh. Congrats on a 'better than new' restoration job, and saving another from a slow, flaking, death.
BTW, I missed ya. Keeping busy? (hahahahahaha!) |

| You are truly talented Mr. Green. You have obviously put a lot of effort and money into this restoration. Nice job of hiding the coil. |

Thanks fellas...it is fun work, and I can't sit still anyway. More good news...she ran a little rough prior to tear down, and after busting the coil, I had my doubts on how much it would take to get her purring. To my delight, yesterday I adjusted the points, added a splash of petro, turned the key and hit the button...no more djustments needed! Runs great..I didn't even have to adjust the clutch or brake. 
I ran her around and snapped a video clip. =] Momma interupted before I got to the low idle portion, but it runs great with no smoke or noise (hood was loose and rattled a bit in the video...had a plug wire that kept popping off during the test ride). Need to fix a sticky foat, redo my mid PTO and we're in business!

Was that voice at the last of the video your wife reminding you not to turn the thing over on yourself?  
So when do/did you move and where to? |

| Definitely nice job Josh. I like the dash chrome look. Didn't notice if you mentioned where you got those materials. |

haha...no more roll-overs for me. I'm still sore as hell from last weekend. Finally broke down and took a vicodin last nite so I could sleep. Looks like a Dr visit in the very near future. We should close on both houses by week's end (finger's crossed)

Clickitandstickit made up the decals for me. I sent them originals removed from the machine, and many of them were same as '64 LL decals. |

Good luck with the closings. I don't know what you're buying but, you'll probably need a bigger shed. quote:

I did manage to get some more space =] We're closed on both homes now and moving stuff every day after work (got 20 days to be out of the old). I'd say I'm at about 50% moved in after last nite's run. The places are about 20 minutes apart. Weather looks terrible for the weekend, so I'll be painting indoors quite a bit, and plan to begin building shelving for attachments in the second garage.
The Squire is now among friends!

the garage space looks so big now...
I'm wondering how long it will be until it doesn't look so big.
Congrats!
BTW, are those 3 in the attached garage? Wow,
that would never fly in my world...
I would be 'corrected' very quickly..... :) |

| That is a nice setup. I can see now that you are going to have serious leaf wars every fall. More seat time. Do you anticipate plans down the road of insulating the second garage and making an cozy shop for winter projects. |

I have a laundry list of things to do, and I'm not sure insulating the 2nd garage is in the cards right now. I would like to, but the initial plan is to add forced air heat to the main garage, which is insulated. I'll have a workbench in there as well, and am anticipating mid winter projects to take place there. I would like to utilize the both attics, and will be covering the ceiling joists to allow storage and hold down some heat. I'm about as broke as I've ever been now, so things will have to happen slowly. That second garage is decked out with water, drain, 100amp service, 220 for my welder and at least a dozen 110 outlets, and is setup to backfeed the house with generator power.
Leaves are certainly an 'issue' which will be quickly remedied by that PECO vac system I just grabbed off craigslist. It does a great job, and is great seat time during one of my favorite seasons. It's better suited for more horsepower, but if I go slow, the 10 does just fine. I could regret it, but right now, I'm telling folks I love the leaves (never had trees at my previous place...now I have 2 acres of them).
The pics were taken after the first load of tractors...3 more machines have since joined, and I still need to bring over 2 more plus a Wonderboy RER and walkbehind. The attachments will be 2 trailer loads alone. I have 9 days to get all that stuff out of the rented storage unit (but I'm NOT complaining!) =] |
