The only thing on the tractor that isn't original right now are the grilles, which Larry made himself to use until he can find actual new old-stock grilles.

To restore the Case cosmetically, Larry had it stripped, power-washed and sandblasted first. Then, necessary bodywork was done to the sheet metal, after which all the parts were primed with genuine Case primer and painted with original Case red paint.

Larry discovered a person in Tillsonburg, Ontario, who is making original-style covers for the battery and radiator cap. Those will add to the tractor's finished look. He's also put 'the whole tractor up on Goodyear rubber,' to ensure it rolls right along when he parades the machine. That meant new tires, tubes and rims on the back and new tires and tubes on the front. 'I will wear the tires out faster on pavement than in a field,' he notes.

Next show season, Larry plans to exhibit the tractor at the Golden Horseshoe Show at Caledonia, Ontario, and at the Huron Pioneer Thresher & Hobby Association's annual gathering in Blyth, Ontario. He'll also make his usual appearances at a variety of local Dunnville events. If things work out, Larry adds hopefully, he may show off his tractor in the United States. FC
