The engine ran a bit again. But I could not keep it going.
Working on painting the engine gray and turn it over to the owner and let him have fun starting it.
Merry Christmas to all.

Will post final pics after the holiday
Thank you all for your help. Its been fun and interesting.

with a very satisfying end. You've done an outstanding job and that is a tractor to be proud of.

Hopefully Cliff will have it at Santa Margarita this year, you too!

Frank,

You have been a fixture here for a few years and we all have been pleased to watch your progress with the TEN. You have done an outstanding job on it. We'd also like to see both you and Cliff join ACMOC. I know you probably have other projects on your plate but look at it this way, you have gained a great deal of information on "how to" and from "where" a restoration of an old Cat can be done. It would be a shame if all that was lost. I hope you consider joining us.

As Pete says, please join us at Santa Margarita and introduce yourself. I did not have the pleasure of meeting you last year and apparently you were there. Hope to see both of you in May.
