You mean the most complicated and over designed tractors ever made. What exactly can this tractor do that a Sears Suburban could not do? Which would you prefer to work on?

​@MrCountrycuz well for one the category 1 3 point hitch and rear PTO is immensely great to have and use. Plus the big rear tires always help a TON with traction on a small 2WD tractor. The hydraulics and hydrostatic is another highly needed feature if your going to do any real work besides mowing a field. That's just for starters.

I bought a 4040 in 1973 with a deck mower, a 60 " tiller and Danco front loader. It had Turf tires and heavy duty tires in the front. I used it for almost 30 years. Rebuilt the engine once and repaired the transmission once. The front kingpin axles broke several times and I made new ones. The rear wheel drive axle broke once and Case made a new one for $150. Great tractor I used it almost every day and sold it to my neighbor when I moved and he loves it and uses it a lot.

When you started it up there at the end. The sound the Owens engine made takes me back to the 1970s when my father was head groundskeeper for the University of Iowa and they used two AC 720 tractors for mowing and snow removal many years. The mower deck on the AC 720 is not what you see today, or most decks are stamped steel, AC and simplicity would weld up the decks out of plate steel. The only problem my dad would have is that when it was really hot in the summer and they would park the tractor for break after running it for a few hours, the engine was sometimes the vapor lock. You restoring this brought back a lot of fond memories of me and my father and the time I got to spend with him! Thank you!

Impressive transformation, Norman! Particularly the pressing out and in of bearings and rewinding the stator. Beautiful work all around. Also shows how beneficial it is to have the right tools. I've watched Jason1Pa rebuild an old Ford 8n tractor, too. These smaller tractors really fill a need for those of us on smaller properties yet need the muscle and attachments of the big boys.

Be sure to bag, tag, or label every part you take off, so you know where to put it back on. Strip it down to the frame, power wash and paint the frame, then build it back up. Sounds like a good project to kick off your retirement.

Hey man, dont know if you have heard of the trick but its for painting rims. Get a new deck of playing cards and stick them long ways end on end overlapping just a bit and it literally takes 1 min to "tape" off the rim to paint it. My brother showed me the trick and i was so amazed at how much faster it was lol. Great video and a beautiful tractor man, congrats.
