WOW!

Careful Bro!

Remember this - Tractors are stuff....stuff can always be fixed or replaced!

People can not!

Looking Great!

Thanks Fellas..

I have been doing some more work on it and..im trying to figure out the engine but i can get it run good.. but it seems like i have to get me another carb to it..

have put the hood on and boltet it on place, and i put some rubber seals"strip" under the hood down to frame, so it does not have direct contact with the frame so there is a littel space between the frame and hood.

have put on fenders modified the way I like it .. know it is not original but I like it. more parts on is the toolbox, seatspring, seatpan, SteeringWheel,tires,hitch,liftcabel and belt guard.. so it's starting to look like a tractor now..

So here are som pict of how it is now..

Thats what i have for now. going to put on the exhaust pipe,chocke,throttel cabel, wire up to the killswitch, etc etc.. and put decals on it.. prolly a lot more too, im gona put it all togeter and get it running good then take of the parts that got scratched and dented and repaint it. but that will be a bit later.. but here are a few pict of the parts..

Thanks for watching and all the comments guys

Don't ever apologize for posting pictures Lars! You know we love to see them and you should be very proud of how that came out. I know it seemed like forever until you finally received it but now you are about ready to sit back and enjoy all of your hard work and patience. You did the Wheel Horse community proud with that one!

[c161rat 185]

the only thing I would change on it is the steering wheel....you should change it with the one sitting next to me in my office with your address on it waiting for someone to get off his fat lazy ass and drive to the post office to mail it!!!!!........LOL....Seriously though It looks beautiful in the sun....nice job!!!!
