zigzag 127 #1 Posted June 16, 2022 (edited) Hi everyone. I figured it's about time I formally introduce myself. I've been a member here for a few years but just never felt I had much to add to the absolute wealth of knowledge here. Thanks to all who make this community so special. I just recently finished a project that I started over COVID . I had to stop and restart several times because life has a way of getting in the way sometimes and like a lot of my projects this one suffered from mission creep as I decided to do more than I originally planned. But I'm finally finished. It's a C120 8 speed. I started with a craiglist special that started and ran but was very smokey. I replaced the piston, rings, and valves and put a new carb on it. Not satisfied with the appearance, I tore it all apart and sanded down to bare metal, primed and painted it. I've been around Wheel Horses since I was a kid and I have a C121 that I use to mow, plow snow, and rototill but I've never done anything quite this extensive. I couldn't have done this project without this community. So a big thank you is in order. I learned a lot over the course of this project and really enjoyed it. It's actually kind of therapeutic after spending all day long staring at my computer screens doing CAD work. Here are before and after photos.
