I finally got the parts back from my painter. It took awhile, but I think it was worth it. I'm starting to get the B-100 back together. I found a easy way to strip paint. Try Easy off oven cleaner. Spray it on, cover it in plastic,. Leave it outside in the sun for 15-20 minutes. Then use a 3m pad or power wash old paint off. Be sure to wear rubber gloves. KB

Does anyone know where you can find rubber bumpers. They go between the frame and rear fender?

You can still order them at your Toro dealer. I had the luck to find a few n.o.s. ones at an old dealer in the Netherlands.

I have the B-100 together and running well. I'll post some pictures tomorrow.KB

A few pics of the B-100. I'm supposed to wait another 30 days before I put the decals on it. I found that using valspar in rattle cans does not work that well. If it is exposed to oil based products it will lift. I painted the frame with a rattle can and had a body shop paint all the tin parts with enamel. Today I had to wipe some oil off the rear end and noticed some red paint on the paper shop towel. I would appreciate any imputs about this.

3m makes some self stick rubber non-skid and is in Mc- Master Carr catalog at various widths. Useds some on my C-121 that was a bit narrow, but it seamed beautiful and looks like one piece. Russ

That sure looks good. Can't wait to see it when you get the decals on it. Jake

I want to thank everyone on red square for helping me restore the B-100. I've got another 1974 B-100 that is all stripped down. It's going to have a K301 in it. I'm going to install a hydraulic lift and electric clutch. I'll post some pictures of the progress. I bought it for parts. It's in pretty good condition, so it's going to get restored. I'll post some pictures with the progress.
