Tractor part ,all together and running . Runs really nicely , especially considering that the piston was stuck in the cylinder and .030 over just barely cleaned up the bore .
Waiting on an order of hardware so I can finish putting together the cultivator.

Looks Great
@DavidBarkey 
Where did you get those nice looking tires from? I really need to replace the 27x8.50-15 on both of my 644 loaders...
Today I called a couple of tire places nearby that would actually order small AG tires... was a little dismayed at the prices quoted - $260 Cdn each
Going to have to keep hunting for good used on Marketplace and Kijiji, they just don't seem to come up for sale very often
- I might end up trying some used 215/75R15 light truck tires for a temporary fix...
