Added tail lights yesterday there not wired up yet there just running of a drill battery. I might get a small rechargeable battery and run the lights of of it because its hard to wire the lights without them arcing.The frames grounded and the lights have to be grounded so when you run power to it it arcs so im going to use a small rechargeable battery plus the lights are just for show i'm not going to be using them much. the only way to not make them arc is if i make a plastic backing for the lights to bolt onto then bolt the plastic to the fenders but i don't have plastic so i just wont use the lights for now.

You can find all kinds of plastic in unexpected places.

Dividers in three ring binders.
Folders for putting schoolwork into. (I forget what those are called. LOL)
Cutting boards.
Plastic buckets, bottles, crates, etc....

Fish eyes? Did you clean it off/prep it good with some kind of solvent to remove oils and all that junk? Don't forget not to touch before painting stuff too, the oils from your skin I think mess it up some times. Not to mention if there is grease/dirt on your hands.

Yeah im sure i can find plastic but id rather wait and buy the right stuff for the job being its a resto i want it to look good i don't plan on using lights much Its just for looks ill probably put different better lights on it maybe colored led lights lol

Put the ih logo back on

I added a cable to hold the hood open and put the stock muffler on it to make it quiet

And attracted a turtle in the process

Got new front wheels for the cub yesterday

Look what just came in the mail

WOOT!

Now it looks like a tractor!

Plus, it gives a better sense of the scale of the tractor!
