dclarke 4,032 #53 Posted December 18, 2023 I finally got around to putting new seals and o rings in the HY-2 pump and the cylinder and got those installed. Some day I’d like to find a set of HL-5 lights to put on this tractor, other than that this project is done. 3 9 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dclarke 4,032 #64 Posted January 31 A few upgrades that I just finished installing. I added a set of HL5 headlights and found an old marker light to use for a tail light. I always liked the looks of that rear light and the glass lens is kinda cool. I wanted a little more clearance between the muffler and headlight so I swapped the 45 degree exhaust elbow for one that’s 22-1/2 degree. I also added a rear hitch….. Maybe now this project is done but then again, maybe not. lol 2 8 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
