Hey! My name is Mike and I’m an old guy too. Also over 59 and still running strong. Kinda. Sorta.
That’s the model JD that I learned how to drive on in 78. I once fell asleep while planting peanuts on it and woke up in the ditch, it was all good after some minor repairs! Glad to see y’all fixing it up!!!
Just to add my 2 cents…..the battery should have a hold down clamp becuase a lead acid battery will have are reduced life if allowed to bounce around. Also consider adding a roll-over frame as it seems from the videos at least the tractor has a high center of gravity.
