My pap just bought a 1953 John Deere 40 yesterday! It was raining today when I went out to see it so I didn't get to drive it yet but it sounds good. As far as I could tell too and the way he was talkin it really only needs body restoration (paint and the lights need hooked up) ;D I'll post some pics as soon as it gets a lil nicer out

nice i actually went to vo-tech for small engine and power equipment repair. looks like you have a little bit of work ahead of you to fully refurbish it

got the paint & him & my dad started painting some of the smaller stuff... he wants to get a better spray gun before he does the bigger stuff
also, we drained the wheels & filled them with just air (dont need that much weight) & set the wheels in on the axles the whole way

around here we have tractor parades, once it's all shiny if you have them there you'll have to ride it in
