I received this tractor as a donation from JB Dewar Corporation in San Luis Obispo, California. It might have been able to run, but I did not attempt it as it had some safety issues in the past. I started this project in late January and finished in late July. I started by disassembling every nut, bolt, and moving part on this tractor. I later sent my new engine block to a machinist, who taught me along the way with him. I worked on all other internal and external parts, cleaning and rebuilding everything that needed it. I troubleshooted my engine a few times before I was happy with how it ran. I finished all sheet metal and body work during this time and in late July, I finished assembling my tractor. I am so blessed to have gotten this opportunity... and a tractor that looks like it just came out of the factory!
