Colt Case Ingersoll Garden Tractors

a little work on a grain wagon for my favourite farmer . Almost all the seams are 1" lap stitched welded on both sides with no rust protection between them during assembly . After many years of neglect and poor repairs that just made it worse it needed repaired . He bought this locally and cheap . Which is good cause it needs a lot of work ,but the running gear is in good shape . Got the cutting and some welding and grinding done outside over the last couple of days , but with Mother Nature wanting to rain on my parade it was time to bring it indoors . Sure fills up the shop .

You’ll have it just like new! A heck of a lot better than holes caulked over or rags stuffed in them! It’ll last a long, long time now.

Looks like a lot if work David. Climbing in and out of the wagon. Seeing all the welding you’ve done so far makes me tired. Harry

@DavidBarkey Good to see your favourite farmer is doing his best to keep you out of mischief and away from street corners late at night...
Reminds me of a job I had early in my mechanic career - apprenticing at a truck shop - I learned a lot there (including I really preferred working on Heavy Equipment) The boss also ran a dumpster company with a fleet of old Mack roll-off trucks and equally old dumpster bins - I spent many a hot summer afternoon patching rust holes on those bins...
