Eric857 54 #1 Posted May 16, 2014 HELLO REDSQUARE, There is something I have been wanting to share with you.... For mt capstone project for school I decided to restore a wheel horse 857, I have a thread in this forum about my restoration but I figured i could start a new one for the finished product. As it sits right now I have an almost new Wheel Horse 857 with a new carb, exhaust and it runs like new, right now there is only the tractor that is restored but I have an RM-367 on the way, following that I have a snow plow for it, and this weekend I am going to pick up a wheel horse Earth plow and a cultivator so I will have quite the machine when I'm done. This whole machine was done with rustolium regal red out of a rattle can. I stripped almost all of it with a die grinder from harbor freight and I primed with rustolium auto primer and then I did 3 or more coats with the regal red and then at least three coats of rustolium clear coat. This is what i looked like when I bought it: http://s769.photobucket.com/user/Eric857/media/1381145010_zps4bf60dc9.jpg.html?filters[user]=137754535&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=51 http://s769.photobucket.com/user/Eric857/media/1381145004_zps9e982a8c.jpg.html?filters[user]=137754535&filters[recent]=1&sort=1&o=53 and here it is now that I am all done http://s769.photobucket.com/user/Eric857/media/WP_20140514_007_zps72ae1298.jpg.html http://s769.photobucket.com/user/Eric857/media/WP_20140514_006_zpsee13fca0.jpg.html http://s769.photobucket.com/user/Eric857/media/WP_20140514_003_zpsf733e269.jpg.html http://s769.photobucket.com/user/Eric857/media/WP_20140514_002_zps8618edb9.jpg.html please leave comments I want to hear what you guys think of my very first restoration 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Zeek 2,286 #7 Posted May 16, 2014 That is a great job! Nice attention to detail. I like the color a LOT better. That tractor was pretty nice condition when you got it, nice find. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Eric857 54 #8 Posted May 16, 2014 thank you very much, I put a lot of work into it and I am really excited about the outcome. It was really nice when I got it, always stored inside and it was running and driving, it was worth every penny i spent on it. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
