The tires really seem to change the look of the tractor. Makes it looks more modern, new paint is always good too. Racing steering wheel?

Grant steering wheel attached to a full hydro power steering sector. Did away with the broken steering gear that is always the weak link on these tractors. Go to my build thread on power steering to see details if you are interested at all.

That is a nice restoration job. Where do I find the pictures regarding this?

That is really nice work. When you say you had to "phosphate" the sheet metal after sandblasting do you just mean prime?

No, as i recall, it was something my powdercoat guy did in that process. The sheet metal is all powder coated instead of prime and paint.

Great idea to powdercoat rather than paint. Is it Kubota Orange?

I have power steering already but thanks. A worthy add-on for these tractors.
