WHX?? 48,815 #1 Posted April 25 (edited) I had another thread on this tractor but danged if I can find it & never did post red porn glamor pics. A carcass from @Achto and a few years later. Finally finished it couple months ago. Motor runs so nice promptly put it to yard work. Some things are just better left untouched. Character they call it and tells stories. Not sure if orginal amp meter but just looked right. Many thanks to Dan for body work n paint n parts. @Pullstart for the motor. Most of my dealer stickers are on magnets.

Story on the motor is I had a 401 with a one pull B1290 on it that I ran so little it had stale gas in it. @Lil’ Pullstart took a hankerin to it and since I was neglecting it and her dad had a pulley correct 161 that fell out the sky so a trade was made. Popped the 161 head to see what shakes and it had a .010 piston that never saw fire! 2nd small block come thru here like that.

Keaton 435 #10 Posted April 25 that is amazing, I have a 701 myself but I am missing the belt guard it runs great it is one of my two round hoods but it is amazing. i like stacks so mine has one and a custom diamond plate dash because the plastic one was broke. good transformation, I need to get mine restored but it is not near as close and nice as yours 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

It was on CL not too far from me, with a 1055 or 1056 carcass. It was silly, like “$175 for everything, or $250 for just the belt guard. I know what I have.” he ended up giving me a handful of 552 stuff, a hood, belt guard, clapped out stuck frame and transmission, etc. That $175 made a ton of projects complete! 2 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
