Has anyone here restored an old Tractor?

I don’t know about full restore but I went completely through my 97 kw, wouldn’t really call it old either but it is 23 years....

I’d really love to find a brockway to do next

 

Thanks for the support!
I got a fresh coat of paint on the frame today. Nothing special, just some tractor paint over some self etching primer. I'm a complete rookie with body work and painting so the final product will probably be quite interesting.

 

Got some primer on today!
I'm no professional but it sure looks better already. I'm not going crazy with the bodywork, just trying to put fresh paint on her. In honor of BLM I'm painting it White.

 

No wonder Walmart was out of gray primer rattle cans,,,, just kidding, don't stop now!

 

I bought out the krylon at Walmart and put a few coats of white down in honor of BLM. JK, I got the cheapest stuff napa had and mixed in some hardener. It's a beautiful 70mph paintjob. Hopefully 70mph is where she spends most of her time.

 

Looks good from Pennsylvania!

 

I pulled out the seats and carpet today. I pressure washed the carpet after soaking it in purple power. It's a whole new shade of brown now. I put the stacks and mirrors back on as well. Also removed around 80 feet of miscellaneous wiring from old belly dump, end dump and logging setups.

 

Be Ready to spend 50,000 Dollars on the Truck and Work on it 2 or 3 Days a Week if U want to Run Old Iron...I should have just bought a New Truck...

 

What should I expect to spend the 50k on? Engine, transmission, rearends?
