Thought I’d make this post if anyone is thinking of fixing up an old tractor. The paint is rustoleum orange and charcoal grey, decals are from a great guy on eBay. Also made a few contacts with people parting out these old tractors

Thank you I appreciate it! Still have to do the front loader tho! I’d say about 3 full days maybe 4. Sat for 15 years. Fresh diesel and new rubber fuel lines she fired right up

I had a B5100 with a standard trans. I wish now that I had kept it but I needed a front loader, and it didn't have one. It had the 2-cylinder diesel. I stepped up to a B3200HSD. Now put yours to work.

Nice job. Great before and after pictures. Nice Hood. Those hoods are getting hard to find in that good of condition. The hood itself is probably worth $500. Good looking machine.

Looking sharp! Is everything up to snuff mechanically? I think your $800 tractor is doing better than the stock market for a return. Must be that sweat equity.

Yup she runs and drives perfect, new ignition, plugs, glow plug resistor,and fuel hoses and fuel tank. Finishing the loader now I’ll get more pics when it’s on!
