Not sure a round hood would have enough room behind the grill, but I'll be on the lookout for what you come up with! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

May have to do a bit of stretching, extend the frame, lengthen the hood and raise the hood hinge and dash stand a bit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I was thinking just move the 45-degree engine back an inch or three. I got something else I've been working on forever- two tractors actually that need completing before I start anything else! 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

But one on the stand, and another almost ready to take back apart and paint is kinda where I've been since last year. Heck I still have carb work to do on the 523-H! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
