Primed and ready for paint. The tools proved to be a project themselves.

I've got the 1/16 Das Werk Panzer III up next. A completely different animal.

Thanks for the pics! I decided to keep the blackout cover on the center one and leave the ditch lights uncovered.

I'm getting my wife a shirt that says "I ride a Red Belly" 😉

Had to tweak some parts to fit, but overall everything went together well.

I've replaced the spark plugs. Removed and cleaned the oil bath air cleaner (that's a fascinating piece of hardware) Fixed the stuck carburetor float, re-bent the gas line from the sediment bowl to the carb. These are gravity fed engines and somebody had an up hill bend in the line. The carb's...

The basic build is done, minus tools and tow cable. I still have to build the Aber brass MG 13 machine guns. This model will be all about the paint. I'm going for a 10th Division Panzer in France, 1940.

The tractor likes the autolites. To me, it's insane how 3 cross referenced plugs that were so wrong were pushed on me. My god, one of those spark plugs had a 1/4" longer thread than what's supposed to be in it. I looked at the counter clerk and said "REALLY"!

I'm looking for stuff to lift 🙂

I got the last 4 they had. I guess it'll be having to order online in the future.

Idk. Champion spark plugs weren't even in the mix at ALL of the parts stores I went to. Three sets of cross reference plugs didn't work. I had had enough. Finally found a parts store, with an old guy, that smelled of BO mixed with a hint of motor oil (I new I was in the right place then) said...

After going to 3 different auto parts stores I finally got 4 spark plugs the tractor originally called for. Unfortunately there isn't a Napa store around here anymore.

Adding the jack block, light and other parts to the hull rear. Also glued the deck on. So far things are fitting well.

Always wondered what this thing was for on the property. A boom lift. Like it was made for this tractor. It actually raises pretty high

They actually weren't to bad. Just the completely wrong plugs...both kinds.

The guy we got it from had one.

Cool! It's all red and gray, no blue. It does hit if I pull it all the way up, barely.

This is one of our pastures we're getting this setup to do. This one and the other pasture totals about 5 acres. We hired a guy to get them knocked down until our bush hog is ready. A nice view from the kitchen.

I'm feeling my way through the tractor. It's all new to me. The guy we bought it from is an antique tractor mechanic/wheeler and dealer. He changed all the fluids and converted it to 12v. Today, though I noticed the spark plugs looked really old. There were 3 autolite 25's and one 52. In it. The...

I did that very thing. Backed into my wife's car with her other car...😜🫣🫢
