Electric Tractor

This project is centered around the restoration of a 1948 Massey Harris 20 and its conversion to run off batteries and an electric motor.

2009/06/18

Restoring the dashboard.

Time to clean up the dash a little. First I took it apart and removed the broken old gauges.



Then I cut out the rusted battery tray, and I noticed some of the old spot welds had come off.


So I welded that back together.


Time to tackle the paint on the sheet metal.
