Who doesn’t like decals?

[WheelhorseBob 1,549]

I wanted to give a shout out to Redo Your Horse. Terry is without doubt the best vendor I’ve ever dealt with, bar none. Last fall I sent him a picture of the decals of a 37” deck I’m restoring. He recreated them and sent them free of charge with the decals for my 416. Here are a couple of pics of my 416?progress. I have to admit, putting decals on is my favorite part! First a before pic. Btw I know the Danger sticker is upside right. Toro got it wrong!

Maybe so you could read it while in the saddle?

Left my safety stickers in the office so I can read it while I'm at the desk.

I suppose that was their thought. I doubt I'll crane my neck and get my head upside down to read it that way.

Maybe Toro's thought was once you were sitting on the seat, you could look down, and be able to read the sticker.

Yep I’m sure it was. Did t think it looked right.

Those Danger stickers were dictated by lawyers, and not preferred by restorers.   I usually leave a few of the stickers off when I restore anything.  Idiot stickers, like "Do not drink the gasoline".   Also, I leave the rear fender sticker off of the older Horses because I just think it's too much advertising, and looks cleaner without it.

I agree. Otherwise it's kinda "if your close enough to read this, you are already in trouble".

I have to second that on Terry. I added a solid bar for some weight on the front of my lawn Ranger and I wanted a lawn Ranger sticker on it to dress it up a little bit but the standard size was too large. Terry worked and worked and worked to get a three-quarter scale sticker made that I could actually peel off without tearing.  If I remember correctly I think he sent me a second one when I did tear it accidentally. In the picture it almost looks the same size as the standard sticker but it’s not.

The front axle swap that has turned into an unintended mini restoration.....nor decals and almost done.
