ps- What town is T-burg NY ?? I am from Danbury, CT and every time I see you post I think of Newburg....

T-burg is local slang for Trumansburg, NY

just alittle north west of Ithaca in the heart of the finger lakes

If you keep putting stainless on that thing it's going to start lookin' like a DeLorian!

Super fantastic job!

5 month's ago as I was draging this rusty, dirty ,nasty wheelhorse off the back

of my truck I was thinking what in the heck did I waste my money on

Well 5 month's have gone buy and a huge pile of cash with count less hour's

thrown in BUT I BELIEVE IT WAS WORTH IT

before

after

there are a couple of more item's I will make out of stainless when our

cnc lathe is up and running again

but for now I'am done

I have about 1 hour on the motor so far and she purr's like a kitten

Thanks to all for your kind compliments all thru this

Brian

Brian, I have to say that this has been the most thorough restoration that I have seen anyone do to one of the machines. I am really impressed with your attention to detail and just how much "extra" you have put into this project! My hat is off to you sir and your beautiful machine!

[WHC-125 4]

Brian, that is the most outstanding restore I have ever seen done . With all of the little details you did really made that tractor stand out from every other, and its in a class of its own! I also cant wait to see it at the show!!!

Brian

Man-o-man what can one say. That is just a magnifecent machine. Truely something to be very proud of. The work that you have put into this shows the skills that you poses. To bad for the rest of us as the bar has been set. Thank you for sharing the progress.

[Greg Parnell 6]

Great work!! I'll read this thread many times to get ideas on future restorations.

The engine is a work of art!! It has to be a blessing to have access to a machine shop to make the many extras on your tractor. :hide:

[kpinnc 12,175]

Hard to add anything to what has already been said, so I'll just second the compliments. Most definitely a beautiful machine!

Nicely done!! BRAVO!!!

Where were you able to find the decals for the kohler? I have found a few different ones from a couple of places but does anybody supply a kit with all of the pieces?
