I seen an old cracker box the other and it was working pulling a flatbed. It was a total restoration. Couldn't get my phone up fast enough. I'll see it again and try for pic.
Has anyone here restored an old Tractor?

i haven't restored a truck yet. been running older trucks for a while now though. just about to start a restore project on a 359 pete. its going to be a lot of work but it should be worth it in the end.

I have a 74 900A i got for $1200 no title. Runs great, not sure what ill do with it when other projects are out of the way. I built an 86 IH 1654 into a pretty potent toter. Still have it.

I see a lot of nice cars/ Trucks. A fool and his money, anything can be had. I’d rather see a work in progress, rolling down the road. All the old classic cars are in mint condition now, or hidden away somewhere.

Thanks for the posts guys! Still would love to see a restoration with pics throughout the process. Maybe there's one in truckerdads thread...its taking me awhile to get through it!FlaSwampRat Thanks this. -

I have never restored any old tractor, not in the sense that restoration guys do anyway. I have fixed some up and maintained them, but always kind of upgraded some things generally.

Picked this 87 up a few weeks ago. Getting started on cleaning her up. I'm not doing a full restoration, just gonna slap some fresh paint on and put her to work. I'll slowly chip away at the small stuff as I go.
