Kinda at a loss for words. That is one beautiful machine ready for many more years of service.
Thanks for restoring a piece of history that your Great grand kids will be able to see.

Lyle,
The paint job is awesome! I do have one suggestion though. It would look even better if you get a small artist brush and repaint the IH emblem in the grille.

I used Sherwin Williams Auto paint the Federal Yellow and I think it was their IH 935 White. I'll check tomorrow when I get back out in the shop. They had a book for tractors. I'm lucky, they matched the Iron Gard price.

Lyle,

That is a beautiful job. It has been fun "helping you" in absentia. I would have a lot of difficulty putting the guy to work now. Thanks for the postings.
