You did a great job, it looks fantastic!

That's absolutely beautiful. Just take a look at what your investment will get you at the big box stores and you'll realize that you got a bargain.

I bought the bumpers on Ebay "Rubber Foot, Feet, Bumper, Snubber, 3/8-16 Threaded Stud, 1/2 inch Foot Size". I can't take credit for the dash. I bought it from "Kelly" on here. He did a great job! I don't have a steady enough hand or good enough eyes to do that kind of work.

 

No, there's no clear coat or wax on it. I had a friend do the painting of the larger parts. He does body work for a living and they really are much shinier than what I painted with the Rustoleum spray cans. The color is a bit different too. Hopefully it won't be too noticeable.

 

Thanks for the offer of the garage. I'm just glad I got it started. I was worried about it just turning over after I replaced all the wiring. This whole process was kind of scarey, taking a functioning tractor almost completely apart and putting it back together and hoping it runs! I had never done anything of this magnitude before.

I got these push in 1" bumpers on ebay also, they are too thick at 5/16", what I do is hold them against a belt sander (watch the fingers) to sand down to about 3/16". the manuals show 4 of these with the other 2 along the sides against the frame and belt cover.

I'm not sure why it has taken so long, but I finally got the decals on! It's not a trophy tractor, but I think it turned out pretty good for my first attempt. It already has some scratches from being used, but nothing too bad.

"Pretty Good" nothin that is Excellent!  Don't under estimate your workmanship.  Thanks for the pictures, Mark.

I'd say it looks better than brand new!

​Well, I wouldn't go that far! Pictures can be deceiving. Some of the paint isn't quite as good as I would have liked, but as my wife always tells me, "You're the only one that will notice".
