Air box and wheels

In worse news, whilst cleaning some parts off the tractor, I started working on the air cleaner. It looks rotten, and I don't think it can be fixed up to the standard I am looking for. I will spend some more time on it, but there is a rusted hole in the housing- this can be seen below. I will look at the cost of replacement, if it is reasonable- I will go for it.

I have also looked at the rear wheels. They need stripping and painting- I am looking at getting a quote to outsource the shot blasting and repainting, however a replacement looks like it may be cheaper. No idea about the cost of tyres either- its not important now, and will wait until later in the project to get them fixed up. They have a lovely colour of red under the flaking grey paint. Just 5 mins of wire brushing managed to get a lot of the flaky paint off.

Tractor tyres are cool!

Time and money....
