1957 Farmall Cub "Before"

I bought this 1957 Farmall Cub from a guy who had bought it already disassembled. It has been apart for at least three years. I was told from the last owner that the previous owner had struck an apple tree, which had caused damage that required the front of the tractor to be removed. The only thing I had done when I took these pictures was to remove the front engine cover (which had a bracket broken off).

 

 

It doesn't really resemble a tractor, does it?

 

 

The front tires are falling apart, and one rim is rusted through and cracked at the lug holes.

 

 

The tractor came with a planter.

 

 

Lots of parts.

 

 

The hood is dented in the front, probably from the impact with an apple tree.

 

 

There's a chip out of the PTO Pulley.

 

 

The rear tires are also falling apart.

 

 

I hope the rest of it is in good condition. I'm sure I'll have it finished in just a few more hours…
