9151 ford 8n tractor progress thus far.....

Here we were reinstalling the head and new head gasket.

Here is a cool timelapes of some work we did on the head.

Here is where we painted the wheel hub.

Today, February 17th a friend and I Tackled the engine bay, we started with the goal of painting the entire tractor in 7 hours so i thought..... Turns out we cleaned and painted just the engine bay and right wheel hub as well as the engine accessories. Here are some pictures to give some visual Context.

We ad taken everything off of the engine and removed the head to inspect the cylinders and valves as it was unknown when a service was done. and after that we replaced the head gasket and reinstalled the head. soon after we added a thin and then a thick layer of red engine enamel to the engine and individualy painted the engine accessories separately. around 5:45 pm we reassembled the engine and its accessories, and cleaned up our workspace. Now to specify this is just going to be a primer and we will use FORD Red engine enamel for that job But we wanted to get a head start on it. we even had time to pull the front right wheel off to paint the hubs!
