Looking forward to restore this 1967 model 71 for a winter project.

Yeah on the demonstrator!! It wasn’t a nice paint job either. Got it running and the mower even works. Engine smokes pretty bad so I ordered rings. Tore it down and when it’s finished give it a good paint job. Can I order the right color paints from Case IH?

Yeah now that I’ve kinda came up on a stalling point with the pistons issue I might as well work on the paint for awhile. I’m going to cheap out and just use modern cadet yellow but it should look better anyhow.
