Wow that looks great! I like the colors. Since it is not original colors anyway, ya ought to get vinylguy to make some decals with some gray in them.

Then tell everyone that it is a "rare" one-off model from wheelhorse.

Then have everyone from Red-square back up your story. !!! LOL

Ian thanks. Yes it's rust-o high proformance paint in the silver can. The color is almond. It's a solid cream. Good paint with lots of shine.

Looks great! :D

I want a Ranger so bad!! :hide:

I'm with ya Brian. These old tractors have never appealed to me until

I started watchin the cactus guy (Saquaro) and fruit guy (Sorekiwi) build

theirs. I guess since both of their names start with "S" I get confused on who is who so I have my own way to know who is who now. :hide:

But once I'm done with my current project I do wanna get one of these. I have

no idea how I'm gonna break that news to my wife. Her first words will be "ya wanna tractor that just sits there and does nothing?" or something along that line.

I was already wondering if I can get a Harley type twin engine to fit in one. That way I can at least keep it all USA made. I love that embossed name on the front of the hood.

Well I hope to make my first trip to the show in Pa next year to look around, meet the people and get some ideas. The people I need to meet are those fabricators I've seen here.
