I could not have done it without the help of RS .I don't mind the opportunities they are learning tools. I was able to reuse the carb, fuel pump, voltage regulator and the starter generator. I did use a solenoid i had along with a heavy duty new switch. All the wiring is new. I just discovered i have a leak at the input shaft so i will have to locate a machine shop or a new shaft. As requested here is a few more pictures. looking awesome keep up the good work! 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Horse Newbie 7,159 #286 Posted December 20, 2017 Man, that is a great restoration. I just hope to get my horse up and running. And keep it that way. Sure did enjoy reading the thread and watching the progress. You've got something to be proud of there ! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Pullstart 63,205 #287 Posted March 9, 2018 (edited) On 3/17/2016 at 7:43 PM, JPWH said: I finally made a little more progress. I got the back wheels and tires broke down. Blasted the back wheels and painted front and rear wheels. Cleaned the tires to prep for tire paint. Also put final coat of primer (I hope) on the hood. Steering wheel painted and ready to install. Poor 15 came in so I can treat the gas tank and paint it. So much help a library of restoration pictures does for a fellow, my 604 Chassis has one tie rod on top and one on bottom of the steering arms, I figure I'll move one down to the bottom. Thanks Jay!

Tractorhead 9,065 #288 Posted August 23, 2020 (edited) Read the whole thread, what a great work, with some interesting knowledge transfer and the Spirit from all of you. Especially i read the section about pre work before do a Paintjob. Thanks @DennisThornton for your Tips, i will try to learn from it also. Paintjob‘s until now is my biggest fear, i maybe to impatient. Great work Hank @JPWH and congrat‘s to your own „safe the psychologist“ therapy. Even this therapy ain’t cures, it was a pleasure to see the results after. Edited August 23, 2020 by Tractorhead 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DennisThornton 4,769 #289 Posted September 22, 2020 No doubt a good paint job benefits from practice and there's just no easy way to get that... Prep is an absolute must to having a long lasting job and if the foundation of a good job is there you can still sand out runs and dust and bugs and still buff up a dull finish and STILL have a good job no matter how bad your spray skills are! Bad foundation and it's just not going to last no matter how shiny it is! I hope that what little I offered is of some meager help. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
