BHunter 1,700 #1 Posted March 27 I’m restoring a black hood to bring to the Big Show this year. It’s nice to see that the C-175 is being featured this year. Hopefully lots of other black hoods show up this year. I picked up this one in February and tore it down to the bare frame. I’m sandblasting all the parts and putting automotive paint back on them. The tractor runs great and now it will look great too. 2 12 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHunter 1,700 #18 Posted June 18 The c165 is running great after the valve job yesterday. Mason is using it to mow the lawn and it’s doing a great job. See you guys at the show. 3 5 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yeah, and you don't have to worry about where your overspray ends up. Took me all day recently to claybar all the red off of my pickup... It was about 50-60 feet away, and it still got paint on it!
