groundhog47 347 #2 Posted April 20, 2014 Ok, I'll bite, know I'm still new, what are they? Not makin' fun of your find, just don't recognize, as in guessin' even eludes me! I know I'll admit "oh shaw" when you say for what/why intended or fabed. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AMC RULES 37,125 #6 Posted April 20, 2014 Oh yeah...I was told of such an item when I got mine... said the one's he had were on wheels though, to aid in moving the FEL around when off the tractor. Sadly mine were long gone...cannibalized for another project. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Martin 2,131 #12 Posted April 21, 2014 So Denny, what happened to the no more projects for a while? sounded too good to be true!!!!! so tell us about the 'other' parts that attach to the pieces in the first pic? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dclarke 4,032 #13 Posted April 21, 2014 So Denny, what happened to the no more projects for a while? sounded too good to be true!!!!! so tell us about the 'other' parts that attach to the pieces in the first pic? You know how it is, Martin. I really did have good intentions. The first words out of Teri's mouth when I brought it up was "Where ya gonna put it?" ...... Details. It's a '74 C160 auto, runs like a top but needs a list of little things attended to. I bought it to move dirt at the cemeteries that I take care of. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Vinylguy 4,674 #19 Posted April 30, 2014 I am struggling with these. The images are skewed and I can not identify the font used so I will have to redraw them entirely line by line. I really need a scan or a better image taken from a distance with a telephoto lens which will allow a closer to scale image to work with. A new old stock would be nice to scan Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I really need a scan or a better image taken from a distance with a telephoto lens which will allow a closer to scale image to work with. A new old stock would be nice to scan Terry, I can take a pic with a better camera if you can wait until the first weekend that I don't have to work all weekend. Not sure how long it'll be, depends on the weather. Would it help if I emailed the image to you? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinylguy 4,674 #21 Posted April 30, 2014 I have found that stepping back and zooming in will give a more accurate image to scale and keep the graphics accurate. Any angle in a photo will distort the perspective which is a problem when I need to redraw the text by hand. Even a pencil rub that can be scanned would be very helpful.

Vinylguy 4,674 #23 Posted April 30, 2014 I put a graph over the image. Is this accurate to the decal? Are both ends at angles? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dclarke 4,032 #24 Posted April 30, 2014 I put a graph over the image. Is this accurate to the decal? Are both ends at angles? I see what you mean Terry, hope these pics help. You can see the clear edge of the decal, which is straight. I'll try to get better pics tonight if I get home in time. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
