Retired Wrencher 5,464 #1 Posted April 16, 2022 (edited) This is my second 74 B-80 this year. So that is why the title. Someone did a bad paint job on it but passable for a worker. Also, the transmission is little funky but working it out. I enjoy this Hobie very much but done for a while = Yard work now. Still have the commando to finish up. I was happy that the original muffler was in good shape. Do not see many of these 74`s with that muffler. Hope you enjoy the picks Happy Easter.

Sparky-(Admin) 21,326 #2 Posted April 16, 2022 Looks fine as it is Gary. It’s a worker so I wouldn’t do anything to that current paint and decal scheme. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheelhorse#1 1,667 #3 Posted April 16, 2022 Looks good to me too.If your like me sometimes it’s hard to let go of things that you could do but it doesn’t necessarily need to be perfect.Just mechanically sound . 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fun little tractor. This one starts with no choke currently. Never had one do this. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jrain 276 #7 Posted April 17, 2022 (edited) That is a really nice exhaust system , the design plays very nice with the tractor , being a I am new WH fan I never saw that design , would you care to give me the muffler dimensions ? I would like to fabricate one in 316 stainless steel. I see it in stainless using silicon bronze to mig with the bronze welding beads will be gold in color and after heat cycles the 316 stainless should turn yellow and blue .
