This is my 3rd CA. I've always kicked myself for selling the others. To me the CA was the bridge between the D10/12 and the B/C eras and always seemed like AC smashed a D14 and B into the same tractor. I couldn't resist because it was relatively complete and I passed up one last year due to being overpriced.
I have a new seat, ops platform, front rims, and battery box so it will be totally complete as soon as I get it. I also have the template I made years ago to make the tool box door so I'll fabricate that. It runs perfectly and has no serious rust.
Anyway, I'm pleased. I have snap coupler implements so I'll probably just use this one without restoration for some time. It also looks like it might be a good home for the 82S I took off the D12.
And I will be using that wrong rim and tire, I have to replace one on my wood hauling trailer and needed a 15 tubeless. That was going to cost me $100 for a new tire so this one won't go to waste.
