Another New-B to the forum

Well I'm another new guy, Joined last night... wanted to wait till i got my resto project(s).... So I was a few hours early, antisipation I guess. Any way I picked up two Wheel Horse's today for FREEEEEEEE!!!!! and they are bother runners and 90+% original. Acharger 10 and an Electro 12. the 10 still has the original lighter. I was suprized to see that. I am planning on a few resto on both over the winter. Time for tear down, zip-lock bags, a sharpie, and the blast cabinet. Took some pics when I got home. The 12 is good to go, the 10 needs a fuel pump rebuild, but does run well. All in all I'm thrilled to have-em First time owner but I got the bug.

Thanks everyone. I worked on the electro 12 for a bit (fluids, plug, quick clean up). Ran some sea-foam through the carb and man that thing moves!!! all the hyd. work as they should and to my surprise she makes a good cut. I figured the blades were dull as hell and would just beat the greass down but nope nice clean cut. Threw a battery in the 10 cleaned the carb up a bit gaped the plug checked fluids and off she went (with fresh gas, gravity fed... need to make a diaphram for the pump). The electric clutch works like a charm... even the cigarette lighter works, not the lights though. I can't believe it. I was laughing out loud I was so amazed!!!

Gonna do the electro first. Its pretty much cosmetics, then the fun on the 10 can get started.
