It is going to look great when you are finished and will definitely be a work of art

It won't be a "concours" restoration, but it will have character and I like the odd & unusual.
Keep the updates coming, enjoying the thread.

Second coat on...it's brush finish but given these are going to be up to the axle in mud in a few weeks it will be fine . Agri tyres in the post.

I finally got around to reading this thread.
First off, I would like to say; You sir are doing a fabulous job!
Your fabrication skills are "top shelf".
Secondly I would like to commend you for "sticking to it" .
My God sir, a 12 year old thread, about the same project.....Simply incredible!!!
I can hardly wait to see the finished product......If I live long enough that it is!

Yeah it's been a real slow burner. Kubotas aren't just for Christmas they are for life
Seriously though ,kids are getting older now so a bit more free time in the garage finally coming my way.

New orange shoes.....had to use a tube to get them to spread to the width of the rim. But they work!!

Had to turn the wheels inside out ...but delighted with them . I placed them in the closest position with 2 wider positions available
That's probably a very good idea. Much more stable .Think I'll move them out to the widest position too when I'm fitting the 3 point linkage.
I've had it lifting the uphill wheel, especially when there's a load in the bucket. When I get the new shop done and I have a place to do metal working again, I'm going to work on some more weight attached to the loader sub frame, as close to the rear axle as will fit.
One last job before it hits the field. Wire my brake lights. Made a little bracket ,fitted the brake switch and connected up.

Not fully completed but enough done for this season. She is ready to do a bit of work in the field now.
I've a few guards to make up but as I work out the kinks it will be fine.
Must also make up some weights / ballast for the front but I can add them after.
Thanks to everyone for all the help ,ideas and input ...I really didn't think I'd get there.

Discovered my rotavator was a bit heavy for this little tractor so I made some crude weights out of 1" plate steel for the front. Not in stainless this time though.
