Yep, TO-35. This one's a 58. Its a decent little tractor.
My father-in-law's dad bought the thing new and used the tar out of it for numerous years. The poor thing had a pretty rough life; hard use with little maintenance. He's been bugging me for years to do a head job on it.
I did the head. I should have sleeved it while I had it apart as it still smoke a bit. Oh, well. I'll get handled one of these days....
The little tractor lives at my house now

Here are a couple of my old rides.
All are now gone. BMW "K" bike, a 40 Chevy sedan that was the donor for the woodie in the garage, a '40 Ford PU that I had for less than 6 months (it was done by others and too nice to drive around much and no garage to put it in), and the only picture I have of my first project - a '50 Ford 2 door sedan that I put a 302 in years ago. I don't even have pics of my high school era cars including a 56 Chevy convertible and a 56 Ford 2 door post.

Love your tractor! Someday, I might be 30% caught up on my projects and be able to give some lovin' to my '53 Farmall Super M. With an almost 3yr old and one on the way, that seems doubtful...
Thanks! An old step-van has been on my "list" for awhile now, didn't really plan on buying one, but, couldn't pass up the opportunity. The Metro had been sitting in the mountains the last 15+yrs, managed to get it running with a little elbow grease, a battery, a milk crate full of fluids, and an afternoon. Got it running and drove it the home 40ish miles through the mountains and down the hwy. It's grown on my wife since bringing it home.
