Wow! Very nice dash. Are you going through the whole interior restoring?
That’s looks sexier than any 2023 truck on the road….

It doesn’t really need it for my taste. I’ll probably just do something with the front seat cover eventually.

Wow, you found a '79 Pig! They are not that common!Picked up my first pig and my first 2F anything today! Trailered it home from about 2.5 hours away. It's a 79 and everything works that I've tried. Could definitely use some bodywork but it's pretty solid. View attachment 3304690View attachment 3304689View attachment 3304688Here's a link to a whole bunch of pics:

x2. Especially for what looks like a mostly original '79. Rebuilding/getting the carb rebuilt and back on there will add to the originality.
I am not sure where the market for these things is headed, but having those pieces can't hurt.

New shoes today. The old tires were in good shape but dated to 2008. I had General Grabbers on my 100 and remembered that they were a pretty good tire. 31x10.5 is the right size for my taste, although I would have gone 31x9.5 if they came in anything but swampers.
Sexy shoes…..

Best looking original iron pig I’ve seen in well ever. Haven’t seen one of those on the road in Hawaii in maybe 15 years. Seeing a few 60’s, lots of 80’s and 100’s

Good day off today - 72 and sunny and not at work. Changed front and rear diff fluid with some tractor supply GL-5, trans and transfer with carquest 90wt GL-4, changed oil with Rotella, and then made a grocery store run. This thing looks pretty good underneath although I did notice a slight drip from a knuckle this morning. I made two stops today and learned that you have to plan for extra time because I got hung up talking to people at both places.
Also, I need to check the valve adjustment and I’m sure there’s a good write up on here. I have no problem fixing the coolant valley leak on my last 200, but I need some learnin on these old tractors

Looks good sitting there amongst all the new crap. People do love to talk about them, I enjoy listening to their stories back in the day.
