Last October I was at a plow day a couple hours from home, mentioned to a "tractor friend" that I planned to go to an auction the next weekend to try to pick up a 56 RER for a Winter project. He told me he could do better, FREE! He called his local dealer & made arrangements for us to pick up a RER that afternoon. When we got there, this 68 was ready to be loaded. Though the seat was bad, tires flat & steering wheel broken, it's in over-all, good condition!
I brought it into the shop a couple months ago, found a used starter & had the carburetor rebuilt. Also repaired the broken spokes on the steering wheel with screws & epoxy. It runs & all gears work, good enough to restore instead of the project I originally planned for it.
Today, I am finishing the steering wheel & will start sanding the engine housing. Waiting on a new ignition switch before tearing it completely down.
I did get the the 56 the next weekend, it'll probably be my next project! ~~ grnspot
