I have been back to working on the JD

Cut the fender lips from a pair of trailer fenders , then welded in the sides , and mounted them to the floor boards
Broke down the rear wheels , painted the rims and mounted the new tires
Finished welding on the hood and did a bunch of grinding and polishing

On to the pictures


Cutting fenders


Side panels cut and welded


Floor boards


Rims painted


Mounted on tractor



I need to roll a hoop for the steering wheel and plan out the seat , then its time for grinding , filling and paint

Check it to template before welding

Are you sure you don't have a full size Model 40 sitting just off-camera you are taking measurements from? You could've fooled me. That looks simply amazing. :thumbsup:
