Looks like a viable project. Attached is my “70”. Thanks to Rob and Charlie (replacement parts) I am starting my reassembly. You can see before and after when you see my avitar.

I guess it’s time to sell a couple tractors to focus on the originals and older ones. 11 Cubs and a John Deere 300 is to much for this guy. Love the originals and so fortunate to have found 2 of them.

Nice O! That one has spent a lot of time in a shed/barn. Little to no surface rust.

I’m going to call this my 70-30.

Model 70 looks good from 30 feet away haha. That painting is hard to do and turn out like I wanted it to. Next one will get better I hope.

Me too!

Yes, impatience is hard to overcome. Not the best time of year to paint outside either. And don't forget the humidity!

I will be starting a 70 project soon what you have done looks good, what are you using for paint and how are you applying it? Did you use a hardener? Thanks!
