I joined a long time ago looking for help with my dads machine. Now I wanted to share a quick pic of my newest "toy"
Trades for this 8N back in May. Someone really loved America and decided this think should be red,white, and blue. The blue looked as if it was brushed on at noon on an august day. Dried instantly leaving massive brush strokes all over.
Here's what it looked like when I got it
First thing I did, actually before I even got the tractor, was hunt down an original snow plow. Then last week I was so sick of the blue I took a few days and $60 worth of paint and this is the result:
I realize the paint isn't exactly correct (a bit light) but it's close. And the wheels got sprayed red for now out of simplicity. Then will get painted correct when I paint the sheetmetal the correct gray.
Also, I know there are rare beasts, but i would like to find the Aluminum cylinder head I hear exists for these
