I am progressing on my 1946 No. 12's restoration, it is finally back to where I can use it, here is a couple of links to some video. Thanks to all for the advice and Kent Bates for selling me the parts machine! Now I need to work on fixing some leaks and the brakes, then to the fun stuff, cosmetics!

Looks good, sounds good. What is wrong with the brakes? I know the master cylinder for our 8T was just a bendix ordered from local parts house.

I just need new lines that run along the final drives and the rubber hoses leak a little bit. Typical hydraulic brake stuff. I plan on tearing the wheels off this winter and checking everything over in there anyway. I need to work on the front end a little also, you don't really want to drive it in high gear.

Yes, I agree, It really Sounds Good. Glad to see you saving it as so much of this stuff has fallen to the junkmans torch the last few years. 👍 Dandy Dave!

I know Ziegler here had the rubber hoses from the frame to the chain housings on hand.

Zach: A very sweet running engine. I'm pleased to see it coming together.

That engine runs perfect, doesen't smoke or leak any oil, and boy I can't believe how nice it is to run a grader with new tires, I have never had that luxury before. But I am having a hard time getting the 2 front tires off the rims on the parts machine I got from you, I want to use those rims so they all match, I beat on one for 5 hours on Saturday before I got it to come apart, now I only got one more to go.

Testimonials

"I also joined a year ago. had been on here a couple of times as a non-member and found the info very helpful so I got a one year subscription (not very expensive at all) to try it out. I really like all the resources on here so I just got a three year. I think its a very small price for what you can get out of this site."
