Anything to report? I found it real easy to get everything off - it was getting it cleaned up and back on again! One thing kept leading to another. I'm taking my time with the '73. Planning on changing the brake from right to left, and from disc to band. Also, change the F-N-R hand control to 2-pedal foot control. I only have two hands, and those are busy with steering and controls. Your's is looking good so far. BTW - I think the color combination you talked about would look great!

want to get back on the 990 project. I would like to be able to use it to put the garden out in the spring.
Wish I had more to report.
The good thing is you have the LGT165 to put out the garden with!

Thats true. I have to get my snow plow mounts made for the LGT 165 before I can do any work on the 990.

You might want to get a goin' on that snowplow mount - that snow's gonna get to you sooner than you want it to! We already got some of that nasty weather up here last night and today. Freezing rain, than a thynder storm with rain, back to freezing rain and now they say 1-3" of snow tonight! Geezzzz - this is NOT the way to start the winter!
Good luck with the mounts! We can trade stories of the 990 builds this spring when the weather is better suited to working on GTs

Is all it needs is a good clean up and a little paint?
for the most part, the motor smoked some, and there was 33 years of slop in all the linkages.

here is a update on how the 990 sits.

kind of sad isnt it?
Now that we are not getting below freezing as often I am going to get my electrolysis tank set back up and start cleaning up parts again.

Been thinking about this project more and more lately, I really need to get it done before winter and would like to have it for the fall plow days.
Yep, you do need to finish that up. I plan for us to plow together somewhere this Fall, maybe Vevay. I likely can only get loose for one plow day, so whichever comes 1st between Keck/Gonnerman & Vevay (which I think is Vevay) I'll try to make that one if weather is good. If I skip the 1st, it may rain the last one out.
Course you still have the Ford if you don't get this 990 completed, but it's still good to have a goal.
