Hey Glitch Number Six

The old girl is all together and she looks pretty good even with the rusty old paint on the axles and rims and the really bad back fenders.

The last step for the hood assembly was to put the always missing front hood emblem in the center cyclops spot of the hood.

It wouldn't fit.

I kinda suspected there was an issue with the center cap but since the bolts holding it together were rusted to the point of being fused I hoped it wouldn't be too bad.

I was wrong.

Either I now go ahead and leave her without a center medallion or I take the center part off one of the other hoods I got laying around. Going to be a B^%tch getting the center parts off both hoods no matter what at this point.

I must say I have learned a lot about restoring old tractors now though. It ain't easy that's for sure. So many little problems and issues. So many parts were changed, swapped out or somehow made to work over the years it's almost impossible to know what you are going to need until you try and put something else in it's place.

At this point I think I am going to live without the emblem for a while before I tackle this center issue though. Too many steps back for the time being.

Keep Prepping Everyone!!!!!
