In the spirit of Halloween I thought I'd share the the facelift of my 1979 C-series something. She started life in 1979 as a C-111 with an 11hp B&S engine.

 

Notice the cutout on the hood vertical for the Briggs air cleaner along with another cut out lower for a Kohler muffler.

 

Now to clean everything up. First cut the vertical support in straight a line eliminating the previous cutouts drag out the hammer and dollies, straighten and re-paint.

 

Next up I gave Terry a call and ordered the decals. Since it's now powered by a 10hp Kohler and a 1979 chassis I chose the C-101 decal set and they look great.

 

Happy Halloween everybody!!

When I bought this Horse the charging system didn't work. The original system was set up for the B&S single diode alternator output and magneto kill solenoid. Nothing was attached to the stator wires on the Kohler nor was any wiring connected to the ammeter. What wiring there was was a rats nest. A new rectifier/regulator, some wiring, a little loom work and everything cleaned right up and works just like it's supposed to. Oh and I had to add a main fuse and holder that were absent.

Very nice work!

 

Thanks for sharing pic's of your "New" Horse!

 

I'm sure we all find pleasure is viewing a Stallion that was saved.  :)
