Status update time!

Powder coat should be done today or tomorrow. Bolts should be in middle of next week. The mower deck will be the last part powder coated as it's at the body shop getting ready for powder coat. Once I get bolts I'll be starting assembly.

Yeah the rear pto is going to be sweet. The steering wheels were in rough shape before the body man worked his magic. I had one to many done so got list it for sale. Seeing it makes me want to get a round fender! They look beter in person then in the pics!

I need 2 steering wheels not the 3 that I had restored. I don't have a round fender cub so no need to have a restored steering wheel collecting dust. Plus it's to nice to have just sitting around. The rear pto came from GA.

Good news !

I'm really looking forward to seeing the finished product.

I'd like to try zinc plating at home some time.

Pictures man, you know the requests will be coming!

Since my friend has had a few troubles obviously a few days luck like mine with tractors I thought I would post some updates for him... got some tire paint applied applied the other day and while I would go with a newer look I understand what the owner is looking for and hope these fit the bill!

Got some before and after shots!

first dirty ones are before the cleaning and then the next are after the cleaning and i was surprised of how well they looked then, the one pic is of the supplies to paint with and the rope idea stolen from Oak, then the close ups hanging on the rope are of the end result i will see if i can't get another of them a little better.

Here are a few more first one are of the ones that had paint on them


And the second is of what looked like a rebel flag at first, im sure someone else has seen this before but this was the closest id ever looked at these tires.
