the guy who is gonna powder my 126 said he will blast it, prime it and powder it. He said they use a really good primer?? $250(estimate) for the whole thing, broke down. Im gonna figure $300 tho.

Is that a local guy?:bigthink:

That seems like a great price for him to prep and finish it.

hes about 6 miles from me. I think its a great price. Right around the corner from him is another painter/blaster operation, not a powder coat guy..

had this 782 for around 23yrs.. it came with the hydraulic deck. and it was originally red. i have 2 50" decks one not so good and one i just bought for 75.00 whicj is in real good shape no rust. just they have hit a few things with the deck up front.. not bad though. thinking about purchasing a new deck from cub, just hoping it is the same design and thickness. theses baby's cut awsome.. I will post more pix of before just have to dig them out or rather find them.. it was a oily mess.. powder coating cost me around 600.00 ..the guy that said my headlights was in at a 45 degree that is how the holes was in the grill would have to make new holes to straighten up.

more pix will add more when i find them

just a few more to show off the work.. i know its not a Kohler.. the original broke a rod so i just replace it

can't wait to get the deck finished

here are some before pix

this is about it... i think
