Carson's C-121

Sorry I missed your call Carson, I gave the help a day off, took the phone off the hook, cranked up the tunes, and got most of yours done today.  I had to get rid of all the distractions to finish most of the stuff on yours, too much goes on around here every day...     

More got done than what is shown here and I have pics but it's almost 7pm, again...  I'll put the rest of it up tomorrow.  

The head lamp assy is in and wired up.  I'll leave it in but the NOS lens is going home with you in it's original paper towel and in a plastic bag.  

I got ready to do the tail lamp wiring, fit the rear fender, and check all the bolt holes and found a stripped out bolt hole in grandpa's old cross brace.  Then I found another stripped out one on the other side.  I prob should have used a different one but none the less I put 2 new riv nuts in it to fix the problems.

Back end is almost done minus putting the seat and arm rest kit on, I'll put pics of that stuff up tomorrow.  

 

It's already after 7 so time for me to go.  I have a bunch of pics on the camera and I think I could finish this up in a day.  I got these 3 pics ready so peeps could see some other highly sought after pieces that don't exist. and to have some kind of update for the day.   I'll prob do an update in the morning to make sure it gets done before the day begins.   

 

3 posts this morning, #1 here.

These are some pics from last Thurs, finishing up some small details.

New PTO brake is on, and some extensions were made for the tail lamps.  After that the tail lamps got some ends put on them along with all of the machine screws, flange locks, and nuts so you guys could put everything on after the rear fender is redone to make it easy.  Finally they were tested to make sure everything worked.  

 

Post #2 this morning.  These pics are from Thursday as well.

Next up was making sure everything fit right for the rear fender, putting the 3 piece seat together, getting out the NOS armrest kit, and getting them mounted to the seat.  

This is prob the nicest seat in the entire Wheel Horse world right now.  

 

Post #3 this morning.

Yesterday I finished up a few other small things and made the new steering shaft cover that goes under the steering wheel.  It looks a hundred times better than the NOS parts.  I wanted it really nice because it's so easily seen and everything else on this tractor is so nice.

Now I'm off to triple checking everything and trying to finish it up today.  

 

I think these are the only parts left to put on Monday, start it up again after it's all together and take it for a ride.   

The steering wheel was put on with a stainless steel pin + clip.  It causes a little play in the wheel but I dare not hammer a roll pin in an aluminum tower that was only made in 78-79.  

I'll give you guys a call first of next week and see when you would like to pick it up.  I also need to get a few more before and after picks put together to put in here.
