SylvanLakeWH 25,493 #1 Posted July 21, 2020 So I am thinking of getting a REALLY rough old WH round hood for yard art... Needs to be visually complete in terms of 4 wheels etc... but I don't want anything that would be a clear restoration candidate... Before I go to far down this road - what do you all have in the way of WH yard art, or have seen out there? I'd like some visual ideas... May use some of your pics to start the conversation with my better half... Post em up please! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

D_Mac 8,593 #4 Posted July 22, 2020 I am not the one to ask. I tend to go the opposite direction. I get other peoples yard art and try to make tractors out of them. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

My neighbor was hinting that my yard art could be brought to life. He may have been right, but I focused on what I wanted and that was “yard art” 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Neighbor had a junk Briggs that was all rusty and locked up, couple 3/8th bolts and nuts and it looked like it had been on the tractor since new. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sparky-(Admin) 21,311 #8 Posted August 23, 2020 Finally achieved the level of patina I thought was good...so painted the hood letters and shot the whole thing with clear coat. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
