You know I met that guy today, what a wonderful man...was to generous, and encouraging when my 653's Tecumseh was acting like a little turd, and not starting. Of course...I can't remember his name now. Bummer!
Said he painted that tractor blue because he installed a chinese made diesel in it...and didn't think it was right to leave it Wheelhorse red anymore, with it now having a foreign powerplant in it. Painted it blue to match the motor, and named it a combination of his three grandchildren's name's. Sorry, that's all I know about it.
