Surprisingly it only took 2 days to prep and a day to paint.
It's not perfect, but it's 100% better than it was.

I'm working on phase 3 of the transformer act right now. :D

It looks fabulous NIW! Even if only plain grey and not grey plaid :D!

Wish I had had the foresight and the wherewithall to keep my 8N and take the loader off it, two tractors would have been really useful....but there was no room in the inn :( not to mention getting the loader off.

Ok now for the great Transformer reveal: ;)

Transformers.... Tractors in disguise.... Meet Optimus Bob!!!:eek:

Optimus Bob has a Kubota Engine in it too! :D

For those just tuning in, I got a 1947 Ferguson tractor given to me from a friend that knew I could fix it as it hadn't been run for 4 years, I Knew of a guy that really wanted the Ferguson and wanted to trade me a bobcat strait out for the Ferguson.
My deal included a 743 bobcat in need of motor work, 2 buckets, fork lift forks, and another trailer, so not too bad of a deal for me because I like working on them.

Well NIW, you've heard the saying, "Sometimes you get the bear, and sometimes the bear gets you."

This time you got the bear!!

Some folks would say, "You're lucky"! But it's really one of the great laws of the universe, "You get what you sow, more then you sow, and later then you sow." Perhaps this is a payback for all the contributions you make here?

Don't have too much fun.

Nice score Wolfman, now I know someone with a bobcat to hire out locally, instead of the guys from Spokane. I have bobcat envy
