ACman 7,628 #1 Posted June 8, 2016 For my B-day I received this 1075 with fifty years of modes , that IMO looks pretty . On the hood through searching I think the cap is a Ford model A radiator cap . The cap had some type of ornament on it . You can see where it's broke on both sides and on the top. I was thinking it was a motometer gauge . I would like to replace it , looking for some ideas , or of if you have something that you think would fit the bill let me know. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

( Wish I could still do this myself so just thinking out loud) . Build an smaller version of a Browning (Ma Deuce) .50cal machine gun for a new muffler , crosshairs for my hood ornament , an old Sun tach on the dash , raccoon tail hanging from my lift handle, AMERICAN FLAG sticking up from my hitch ,and since the mice chewed on my steering wheel, a perforated braided on steering wheel cover. Still wanting ideas for hood ornament. Edited June 8, 2016 by ACman 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
953 nut 56,340 #9 Posted June 8, 2016 Just had a thought; find someone with a 3D printer and have a model of your Avatar made and use it as an ornament. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

That would be AWESOME!!! I guess all the rest of modes are bolt on too . Got to get on top of it TWO weeks! Though the muffler would put it over the top . 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

neil 2,410 #22 Posted June 12, 2016 Here are a couple of my old 856 , which sadly I no longer have . the first pics was when I had to rescue a few of my tractors from the floods the hood ornament was a solid brass rearing horse, it looked great when it was all polished up. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rjg854 11,620 #25 Posted June 12, 2016 They have chrome paint I was thinking about using, but after talking with the little lady, we decided that the white they are, look good with the white of the decals, so I left them the way they were. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
