jerrell 1 #1 Posted December 28, 2008 :hide: about 2 months ago i started tearing the GT 1800 down and restoring it , i have all the parts repainted and ready to go back together and i have forgotten how the parts go back together again, got everthing figured out but the rods, levers, and hydro parts in the dash tower, can someone post a pic of the way these things fit. also i am missing a rubber cromet the big round one that goes on the side of the tower , i think the lift rod goes thru, do they sell these or do we have to manufactor one?

jerrell 1 #3 Posted December 28, 2008 :hide: thanks hodge , didn't think of that, i burned the old one while heating the tower with torch, bending it back in shape, the po bent the top of the tower so he could get the hydro control off , he bent it all the way over to take the nuts/boldt out and halfway ruined the left side of the tower, i heated it and worked it back in position and now you can't tell what happened but i for got to take that gromet out before heating :imstupid: .

Duff 206 #11 Posted January 1, 2009 Jerrell, is that a can of Rustoleum Regal Red I spy sitting on your tractor? If so, my shop is littered with them since I am a rattle can kinda guy (too poor to buy a spray rig!), and that's the paint I use on my tractors, too. BTW, your project looks like its coming along nicely! Cheers! Duff :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jerrell 1 #12 Posted January 1, 2009 :hide: right on duff, i spray painted the parts , but with putting the parts back in position, i had to use a little persuasion,(trusty hammer) and used the spray can to cover my chip marks and scratches. i did use the rattle can to paint the back and bottom of the seat and i can't tell the difference, i may use the rattle can to paint the ROOF, using the spray painter is a lot of trouble unless you have a big project, or a lot of small pieces, i do like the spray painter for a quicker drying time, thanks TT for the pic enlargements..
