Memorial Tractor restoration

Well in next couple months ill start restoring a 1961 D17 Allis Chamlers tractor. All I need to do is file the points clean. beat his dents out and a fresh paint job. Planning on making it into a memorial tractor for my 94 yr grandpa. He was a farmer, bus driver, and oil driller. Anyone have some antique tractor restores to show off.

I know HRT has done some. I can't remember the others that have

I'm in the middle of a painfully slow ford 8n. Its split in half, I'm just waiting on the motivation to order my rebuild kit(almost no compression on 3 cyl's)

Engine is already on the stand, too :doh:

This is a 1963 D19.

Here is my grandpas 1961 D17 with me on it. Ive got a long ways to go just got it started Sunday after his funeral. I had to get it out and take it for a spin. Now the fun begins

You can still get shot of parts through Agco. If you can't find soothing let me know.

I got an old case vac tractor from 1951 that I restored. I'll get some pics up asap

Here's my 54' WD45

Cool. I just finished a 1937 Minneapolis Moline ZTU with a factory 4 row cultivator. It was from my grandpas collection. I will post some pics tomorrow.

My 51 B

Nice old Chalmers...

Just did a 1958 to35 with my father.

Just got this one running a little while back. Its my wife's (step)grandpa's but it belonged to her real grandpa when he was alive. I refer to her step grandpa as grandpa though. He was very ill a little while back and could barely leave chair.(bad lung infection) to make him feel better I went over and worked on a lot of things to provide company and help him feel bettr. That wd45 trike was locked up and had not ran for 20-30 years nobody remembers exactly. Had it running pretty good though, then got his IH cub going, and he got better and I was slammed at work. So soon I will start on getting the wide front wd45 running. He's doing the best I have seen him do in years! He has even traveled to tractor bone yards to pickup odds and ends I need for them. Now i believe he wants them restored. Few more pics. Good luck with it OP!

Man I want a tractor so bad...

My dad had several old Ford tractors back in the day. Wish I had one of them.

Damn... spent the last two hours looking at tractors on CL... No money...

This is what we had, but one had a loader attachment...

Very cool project! I actually have my grandfather's tractor that I will be restoring and using when I retire. It is a :fordoval:, but I cant remember the model number. The tractor and I have a love hate relationship, I was driving, fell off and the rear wheel ran directly over my chest when I was 5. I am lucky to still be here! It was the only time I ever remember seeing fear in my grandfather's eyes.....

Here are some pictures. Nevermind the overspray on the rear tires they are getting replaced.

Nice Morepower! We had the cultivators for my R, but they got sold at an auction, wish I had them for the restore, I'll post mine here in a minute, gotta dig up the pics.

My great grandpa bought this tractor brand new in 1950, been in the family since, Older picture is the first time it had ran in over 20 years, Grandpa and I spent every weekend for a year and a half working on getting it restored, great time spent.

One more try for the before pic.
