I didn't use glue as the original wasn't glued. The top material is a modern marine grade vinyl . Bill

I tacked it on the edge as the original was done. Then the original half round trim was reinstalled. I was surprise that I was able to use the original small nails on the trim as they were still like new. Bill

I had this N.O.S. light saved for this project. The pig tail wire coming off the tail light has a mesh wire ground. I will have to use a similar type wire because of the wooden Cab. Bill

Almost time to start a new project. This tractor is almost done. All the lights worked first time. I lucked out! Bill

Looks awesome!, thank you so much for sharing the photos, i would imagine its difficult for a tall man to crawl in or out of a cab.

The tractor and cab are gorgeous. I cannot imagine the hours it took to create such a beauty. Thank you for inspiring some of us. Waiting to see what you restore next! JM

Bill, it is a real beauty alright. Would you be able to put it on the Baker fan or some other belt-driven equipment one day and video it for us? And a walk-around too. You have some real fans here! : ) I'd love to see the Seventy with a belt pulley on it running something like a silage chopper.
Cheers,

I had this on my computer and I'm sure there is a better copy out there. Bill
