John Deere 820 restoration Rack

[Avrotom]

I had a 1958 JD 820 that was very nice and serviceable before the Ft.McMurray wild Fires hit in 2016. With the aid of a donner tractor I am going to bring it back to life. Everything on an 820 is heavy so a rack was needed. 1st stage was a welding table to build the rack on. We will start with that as the welding project.

Once the table was done I could start on the rack.

Ok missed a few picks on the last one

Couple shots of how the “rack” worked.

Not sure what the plan is, restoring a JD 850 I'm guessing. Why such an elaborate fixture? Nice work, but the time spent building that verses time on restoration of tractor would have rubber on the floor by now. You guy's from Canada do funny things...... must be the long winters.
