I know I am forgetting some stuff but you get the idea. It was a lot easier to find replacement parts for this than it was in 1997 when I restored my Dad's tractor. Thank God for the internet.
Lights
new steering wheel
new ignition switch and ammeter
New oil pressure gauge and light switch. I know the light switch should go on the left side but since I wasn't using the red voltage light it looked like a good place to put it. It also made it easier to wire in the light whith it there.
wiring harnesses
Battery ground and light harness. I grounded the lights with the battery ground.
More lights wiring
new seat
hood emblems
The finished product.
Learning to drive for the shows
