953 nut 56,159 #11 Posted November 18, 2015 Always glad to see a younger member come on board, wish I had a web site like this to help me when I was your age; heck, I was 50 when the internet came about so I don't guess that would have helped! 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JPWH 6,146 #12 Posted November 18, 2015 enjoy your restoration. Ask for help when you need it and be patient. Sometimes it will be hard but it is always fun. In the end you will have a tractor that will last a lifetime and you will enjoy. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,910 #14 Posted November 18, 2015 Welcome Aboard Cole 953 nut talks about the internet...ha...you should have been here when we were chiseling hilowgliphs (sp) on rocks. Looks like it is going to be a nice restore. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rmaynard 15,730 #16 Posted November 18, 2015 We are glad to have some younger members like you Cole. Many of us are getting old and falling apart, so a new crop of horse tamers is always welcome to keep the hobby going. I have a Wheel Horse buddy who's grandson is named Cole. They restored a Charger 10 that they bought from me a couple of years ago. If you want to see pictures of what it can look like when it's done, just let me know and I will post them. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cole J. 71 #17 Posted November 18, 2015 What a coincidence if you could post the pictures that would be great. It would definitely give me something to work off of since my dad isn't assisting me in much. He wants me do to it by myself I guess, that fine with me though.

You can count yourself as the son of a very wise father. Too many father and son projects end up with dad showing the son how good HE is rather than letting the son learn how to research a topic and overcome obstacles. Ultimately you will develop a great deal of pride and self confidence by doing it your self. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cole J. 71 #21 Posted November 19, 2015 Here are a couple of pics of the finished Charger 10 Thanks for the great picks i have a few question i know I'm no were near these steps but I'd like to know ( if you cant answer them that's fine). Are the stickers original or new, is the white center column plate new or original, is the decal on the hood added on or is it original. I ... think that's all I was going to ask. Oh! Also from the looks of the pic is the black switch board one or two pieces. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rmaynard 15,730 #22 Posted November 19, 2015 All of the decals are reproductions of the originals. One of our vendors Vinylguy, makes the decals. The center plate was originally silk screened, but Vinylguy makes a decal to cover it. You can see all of his product at redoyourhorse.com 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vinylguy 4,687 #23 Posted November 19, 2015 Welcome to the forum Cole. As my ole buddy bob says, many of us are getting old and really get excited to see the younger generation getting involved with these amazing tractors. Hey Bob!! I had not seen those pics before. Do you think it would be ok for me to use them on my website? 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
