Getting 7C 15 ready for show

[Firecat]

I'll be bring my 7C 15 to the California Antique Farm Equipment Show, April 21 & 22 in Tulare. Pre-reg dead line is March 30. I just finished adding a belly pan and pull hook assembly to the 7C.

Pictures of the tractor and belly pan and pull hook assembly. Also pictures of some pull hook parts and belly pan before installation.

Firecat,

Your tractor looks great, congratulations on a superb restoration job!

I like the way you have chocked the tracks at each end of the timbers, to secure the tractor in position, whilst it's in the workshop - neat idea.

Hey, on your way back up you can store it at my place. Isnt your place getting to crowded. Some day I hope to have a unit that looks that good. As for now all I can do is fix up my house.

Firecat,

Tractor is looking great! I love the tow hook. I looked for one for my TEN but gave up after some time. I think it is one of the best looking options on the small crawlers.

The wide 7 C sure never looked that good when Keith Clark owned it. I look forward to seeing it at Tulare next month. I don't know what I am bringing to Tulare, maybe just a couple of 22's.

I hope that you can bring the 7C and the 8C 20 and your Best 30 to Woodland for the June show next year.

Thanks everyone for your comments. Tom, I'm going to try to bring two tractors to Woodland. I'm concentrating on the Best 30 first and hopefully have time to complete the Citrus 22. If not, I'll bring something else.

PS: I'm sure by the time of the Tulare Show you'll have a truckload to bring. I look forward to seeing your truckload of surprises. Frank

Frank:

We will see what follows me to Tulare. I have drug home a lot of stuff lately but most of it needs work and I have no time.

As for Woodland, I would really encourage you on the Best 30 and I would love to be able to talk you into the C 22, 8C and 7C because they are so nice. I know it is a lot of hauling but it is relatively close and we need to make this one the one everyone remembers.

Fine looking 7C, I hope mine turns out as Nice.

Steve,
I'm sure it will. In restoring any rare tractor I think keeping it as close to original as possible is most important even if it takes more time to complete. Good luck. Don't forget to post some progress pictures. Frank
