What did I get myself into? – Restoring a 1963 Wheel Horse 753 Garden Tractor

What started as a simple restoration quickly turned into a full-blown adventure in rust, grease, and questionable life choices! Watch as I take on a 1963 Wheel Horse 753, thinking, "How hard can it be?"—only to find myself knee-deep in transmission guts, sandpaper, and a growing pile of "extra" bolts. In this video, you’ll see: ✅ A tear-down (and hopefully, a successful reassembly 🤞) ✅ Transmission surgery—because what’s a project without a little mechanical mayhem? ✅ Cleaning, priming, and painting this beauty back to life. ✅ My not-so-secret techniques for sanding and polishing to get that perfect automotive like finish. ✅ A fair amount of trial, error, and a few “learning experiences” along the way. If you love classic garden tractors, restoration projects, or just enjoy watching someone struggle (while providing useful tips), this one’s for you!
