    I found this old girl in an antique shop in Dothan Alabama. She was in a corner buried under a bunch of junk. This tractor is 68 years old and it seemed a shame to leave her there to wind up in a recycling plant.
    I would live to hear the stories this old tractor could tell! They don'y make toys like this anymore. We need to save all the models that we can find.
    I ordered all the correct parts and decals for her. I did change the color to another color that these came in. I've painted to many things yellow already.
    If you like this restoration, please SUBSCRIBE to see more projects like this one! PS...THIS VIDEO IS LONGER THEN MY USUAL DUE TO THE AMOUNT OF TIME AND EFFORT IT TOOK TO COMPLETE THIS PROJECT.
    Thank you.

      This tractor looks great, even in red. Ya can buy a chain rivet tool at the bike 🚲 shop to take apart the chain. They cost about $19.99, for a good 👍 one. Don't resort to Wal-Mart. Theirs are junk. I never even knew 👌 that the rear tire treads were facing in the wrong direction, because I'm new to your channel. I don't know if you're putting fresh rubber 💆 on those rims. I'd hang this tractor up ☝ as a collector's piece. Even if not 👎, some kid will be proud to ride it. Smart idea 💡 with the new chain. I'd also have gone with new tires, it didn't look like 👍 ya replaced those. Now 👎 everybody in town will know 👌 who's riding this BRIGHT RED tractor. It must be an Italian 🍕 brand. "Cintelli", if I'm not 👎 mistaken. Your friend, Jeff.
