1963 Massey Ferguson 35 Diesel Deluxe

Drilled a hole and tack welded a piece of 1.5" flat stock on the inside of the bonnet for the hinge where the bonnet tips forward and installed the bonnet (the right side was rusted and completely missing).

Buying a greenworks pro 2700 psi 2.3 gpm electric pressure washer today and will clean off the PTO area which is laden with thick layer of grease and sand so I can replace the PTO seals, then I'll pressure wash the rest of the tractor to clean it up.

I'll deal with painting flood penetrol on the body after I scotch bright it at a later time. I need to put the tractor into service so I can grade and clean up the yard in advance to seed bahia (they call it grass here in Florida, but it's actually a drought tolerant weed).

I have a bench seat out of an '92 F150 I had recovered by an upholstery shop (still didn't like the way I sat on it so I bought late model 2017 F150 buckets for that old truck), but I kept the bench seat, so I'll weld some legs on it and make it a seat / couch in the shop so I can sit / snooze in the afternoons when time permits, but that hinges on Rick finding me a used A/C for the shop so I don't sweat too much when I'm working or snoozing. We are civilized after all.
 
Got the new pressure washer and it's not as strong as the gas one (that's a good thing), but it does a decent job as shown in the photo below. Also went to Tractor Supply as they has a sale going on and bought myself a 5' box blade. 20% off. I also pressure washed the tractor a bit and then sprays PB blaster on the spin outs so I can put them back on and then put the front wheels back closer too.

I fixed her just for you.... is she sexy again? I do have to clean up where she dribbled though, and I dumped all that old nasty yellow shit and she's about to get the bath of a lifetime in 8 gallons of fresh 90w GL1 mineral oil.
