'56 Wheelhorse RS-83 rebuild

I personally like the headlights... its part of the history of the tractor, whether or not those were the actual lights used

Finally found the bracket, spring and cable eyelet for the Wisconsin AEN.

I need to order the gaskets for everything so I can get the RS mobile again.

Full resto will have to wait behind the trucks. For now I've decided I'll strip off any new paint and get it back to original paint ... Whatever is left anyway.

I found some 50's Buick backup lights to fill the holes in the grill as headlights. (42-47 parking light I posted before are too big).

Post more pics as I progress

Funny. Feast or famine...

I found another one of the brackets for the control cable and it has a part no, VC-25, which shows up although not quite the same on continental/Wisconsin parts sites. (VC-25-1 & VC25-2)

I have one already that I got la few weeks back that included the spring and eyelet

Perhaps this will help other restorers
