84' Workhorse Update

[srose3070 0]

First of all I want to thank all the members who helped me with all the technical questions.

The Workhorse is well under way now and I am happy to say it is back on the ground now. The engine runs perfect and the transmission works flawlessly (Due to all the help received). I am including a few pictures of the project as it stands now. I am currently in the process of painting the mower deck so that is not installed yet. I also am waiting on a new seat and new back tires.

This is the hood when I got it.

Well here are the afters... I know it is not original gray but I don't like Gray but I do like red.

Its not perfect by any means but I am satisfied with my first complete restore project. Again thanks for all the help.

I think it looks really good.

Put that seat out to the curb ... and then you'll be riding in style!

Nice work!

Pewter-smewter! That thing looks great. Awesome job for a tenth, nevermind a first. Good JOB!! (I would have done away with the gray also)

I appreciate it alot. I do kind of wish I had went with the gray but I guess I'll stick with the red. It has a home from now on . I will be putting on the decals for a Workhorse and I am still trying to find a seat I like. I got tires for the back coming. I have the mower deck off and am in the process of blasting it and hope to have it on soon (honey doo list keeps getting in the way . Here is my next project as soon as I get the Workhorse finished...

As you can see the deck is in bad need of some welding. I have a new wire welder and it looks like I am going to need it. The K301 runs just fine now and the transmission and hydraulic deck seem to be ok as well.

I bought a pedal off Ebay as the one in the picture is broken. I have since put that on and replaced the head gasket (Come to find out the bolts were loose)

I will update as soon as I am able. You know gardening season in NC starts soon and I get to plow and disc and till "oh my". Thanks again for the kind words I think I have found a nice hobby to keep me out of my wife's hair at least that is what she tells me :thumbs:
