Hahaha. Maybe the rims tires and steering wheel could least be used still at that point. -

Did you happen to save the original decals on that? -

You’ve got one heck of a deal on that. Those things are starting to get insanely expensive. -

Did you cut the decal in half? I used to do that after the first time installing the whole thing at once. It looks nice like you did a good job. - Today

We call those a 50/50 job where I come from. Looks good from 50 ft or 50 MPH.

Well, whoever whatever made the seat, it looks nice. I think I had one like that at one time it looks familiar. Glad you’re enjoying your new tractor. Enjoy your weekend..

Now that’s funny.

I've used Rusto Regal Red and Satin Black on all my Black Hoods. I've been satisfied with the results. I like the multi spray tips - if one gets spurty or clogs, you got options... My paint jobs are best admired from a distance though... -
Little cleanup and.. you could hang your nanners in the kitchen???

I would think with those numbers you could just hone and set of rings and should be good.

Sickle Part 2660

I had been using the Regal Red but kinda leaning toward the IH Red now. Here is a pic of some dolly wheels with one Regal and one IH Red (both rattle cans). IH red farther away wheel and looks better to me and still does a few months later after painting. Not a big difference and may just be according to who was working on that paint line that day . -
lots of smart people on here to help but one sugegstion i have learned that i did not read in your thread is in addition to fuel valve screen?? if the gas gap is venting adequately? Remove the gas cap while running to see if that corrects issue? - -good luck

I will say IH red is brighter than regal red. They are extremely similar, but I use IH red for everything -

I buy IH Red by the gallon Rust-Oleum I agree it is a wonderful match with just the right mix. This one little part just spray bomb it. -
If your using a gun get some enamel hardener such as Majic brand hardener from tractor supply. Do not use their paint just the hardener. Drys much faster and higher gloss.

I just brought that 875 home a few hours ago. I even thought about going to look at the Electro as well. I'm pretty amazed that there are forum members everywhere. Not the first time I've seen posts about tractors I wanted to buy

It's written with a marker. Nothing special

Cordless electric chainsaws are very handy. I have several gasoline-powered chainsaws: An Echo, a Poulan, a John Deere, and a pole saw attachment for my Husqvarna strimmer, but my little Milwaukee M18 chainsaw is the one I use most often now. Since we downsized to one property two years ago, we're down to 2-1/2 acres, which is mostly wooded, but I don't need the big saws as much. I've cut down 12-inch-diameter trees with the Milwaukee, and it uses the same batteries as my other Milwaukee tools. It's also very handy for limbing trees once they're down, as well as trimming firewood. Now that I think about it, the pole saw attachment 'might' (I'll have to check) also fit my wife's Milwaukee string trimmer (which I bought for her because she likes to trim around her garden and doesn't like to mess with gas engines very much).

What have you done to your Wheel Horse today?
ebinmaine replied to Ed Kennell's topic in Wheel Horse Tractors
Absolutely!! -
Pics of that marking?

Around Boston you'd be tie-idd. Up here in Maine you'd be tie-udd. And say it slower.

I had a snowplow for my 195 powder coated a few years ago. He told me he had a great match for IH red. It turned out way to light. Most attachments I have painted with Rustoleum. I used to swear by Sunrise Red, but then Menards had IH red implement paint. I bought a mid mount grader blade that had been broken and welded together crooked. I cut it apart and disassembled the rest for the repair. I figured I might as well finish the job and paint it. That is when I tried the IH red. That did it for me. I am stuck on that now for implements. It looked so good I ordered the correct decals. It looks so nice I have never used it.(I have another.) I'll have to paint a tractor to display it with. Not to steal the thread, but I have another paint question. My neighbor is a IH Collector/Restorer. He uses Majic paint from Tractor Supply. It has a hardener available for better shine and durability. He likes it, and it does look good, but he doesn't keep them long enough to see it's durability or fade resistance. I've heard it is prone to fading. Anyone have any experience with it?
