progress... not a Ford

So thuis weekend I got a itchto work on my W4 International tractor. ( my camera is hooped) But I took the tractor completly apart tested the mechanical side of it. Got it running off of a can of either and the compression is good on all cylinders. I repainted the frame and operator platform it looks good.

Pretty good for 75 bucks.

Haha thats funny. Thats actually pretty reasonable for decals too. I was checking some out for my lawn tractor, and they are around the same price, but they are real small ones. Add em all up and thats like over a hundred bucks for a lawn tractor.

There`s a guy at Langham that sells old tractor decals and manuals. I usually see him at the January Farm & Hobby Toy Show.
