AMC RULES 37,127 #1 Posted September 1, 2013 Been waiting all day for my call back on this second owner tractor. Chris said he got this little 603 from the original owner years ago. Said all of his kids have grown up on it, his oldest daughter used to sleep in his arms while he was mowing with it. Said all his years living in this area he's never seen anyone with the Wheelhorse banner emblazened across the back window of their truck. You know I had to tell him about the forum and the Biglersville show too. Pretty sure he was having sellers remorse there at the end...whew! I think I got outta there just in time. LOL. 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,127 #5 Posted September 1, 2013 So...something's gotta go. No worries Mike...I'll make room. Hot water heaters are way over rated anyway. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RMCIII 838 #14 Posted September 1, 2013 Craig; I'm sure you are probably aware of this little gem of a cleaning solution, after being in the military. Once you wash it, break out the never dull. It takes away any fading, scuff marks that the washing will not take out, removes light scratches. Once that is done, use some light rubbing compound. After done with rubbing compound, find a nice wax from here. http://www.autopia-carcare.com/ You can not find any of these products in any store anywhere. Yes there are Meguiars products listed, but you won't find them in any store. I like the Ultima products. But there are other products that others like also. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
