1067 Refresh & Mods.

[WHX?? 48,814]

So since the decals are on I can call this done. Some areas of paint did not come out as well as I would have liked but oh well. As they say good enough for the women we hang out with & looks good from Berlin Dan!

In a way I'm glad the paint ain't the best as now I can work it a little & welcome kids climbing on it and not fret about getting scratched.

Thanks goes out to some who offered parts & advice.

Steve @stevasaurus Transmissions thoughts & advice

Lowell @wheelhorseman Transmission parts & show tie rods

Tom @Shynon headlight bucket & hood latch & advice

Dan @Achto custom battery cables & great idea for battery tray bracket & probably something else I forgot about

Bob @Racinbob cheese & sausage dash & transmission parts

Terry @Vinylguy decals

Linc @A-Z Tractor steering wheel

Bob @rmaynard lug bolt kit

Probably others like the fellow member who sold me the fronts... I can't for the love of God remember who he was!  but thank you.

I was going to list about how much $$ I had into this but though best not to just in case she is looking over my shoulder...lets just call it a labor of love for one's first horse of 30 years and is priceless.

 

 

 

Will try and follow up with some what not to dos or things I should have done right the first time!

Looking good Jim. I think most of us have a good idea how much for parts. But how else can you have that much fun for the money.

Did I mention the cost of keeping the shop fridge stocked?

[AMC RULES 37,130]

  Yep, priceless.  

[JPWH 6,033]

Fridge does not count.

[Aldon 4,826]

Very nice!!!!

It's crazy how much you spend if you track it. So I just stopped tracking it. Much better now:-)

My wife knows how much has been "invested" in her Quilting hobby so I'm safe!

           That is soooo Nice.

Wow Jim that's one fine looking Horse

[PeacemakerJack 10,738]

That is a beauty for sure Jim. We will have to get a picture with it, Dan's 1076, and Dad's 875 in Berlin!  You did a great job and I love the history of it with you.   Reading it, reminds me much of Dad and his 875!  Started out as a potential plow tractor, ended up a really sharp show machine!

[Achto 27,563]

Turned out great Jim!! Great glamor shots too. Can't wait to check it out in person, (with out an inch of Plainfield dust on it ).

[CasualObserver 3,408]

@WHX12 Jim that came out beautiful for sure!!  Can't wait to see it this weekend! 

[WHX?? 48,814]

Loaded up and in the hauler fellas!

Gave it a real good bath Dan even armoralled  the rubber!

I'm glad this one was brought to the top, good readin' right there!  And to think, didn't @WHX14 used to be WHX4?

 

Great job on the "refresh!"

Yes he did but he keeps buying/hoarding then he has to change his name! WHX= Wheel Horse Times (number of how many he owns) or hoards
