I finally got the motor off thanks to my skid loader its kinda red neck but it worked. good thing Jake was there to help me with it because i was worried about it not working. Then I also wire brush and the motor and the rear end.

I sanded the gas tank and i found out that they sucked at painting back then and i could just scrape the paint off with a utility knife. I thought it was kinda funny. i also cleaned up a lot of the main parts so i could start sanding them. Jake can't help me for at least a week or two because he's a slacker like i was for some years.

This is week 14 into the tractor restoration. I have it all striped down to just the motor and transfercase. I also have most of the parts sand blasted and sanded. Now i need to sand down the main part of the tractor with a belt sander and some sand blasting but I don't know if ill sand blast it because i don't want the sand to get into the motor and transfercase. ill try to keep everyone updated as i get it all sanded. See ya thurisday.

I have been sand blasting for a few weeks now. It takes forever!! I cant wait to get done with it. It should be done in the next couple weeks. The next thing I plan on doing is taking off the front of the tractor.

I have been slacking on posting blogs, so now I'm going to have to inform you of of what I've been up to for the past few weeks. Lately Jake has been slacking on helping me because he has been snowmobiling but he broke his track on it. Now I'm happy because he wont have anything else to do but help me with the tractor so we should get a lot done. while Jake was snowmobiling I sandblasted most of the body panels on the tractor so we can start tearing the rest apart. Here is some pics of what I have done.

My name is Danny Nytes. I am a Senior at Minnesota New country School. My school is a project based school. I am restoring a tractor for my senior project. My senior helper is Jake LaDuke, his job is to help me with anything I need help with while doing this project. I also have to put 300 hours of my time into this project. I haven't really started the project yet, but I am planning on starting it soon. I want to take it all apart and sand blast every part. Then I want to paint the tractor and make it as original as possible. As I move along with the project I will be recording all the steps I do to restoring my Farmall 300.
