Brian01 481 #28 Posted August 29, 2015 This white seat will blind ya trying to paint it out in the sun...gonna take several coats, I'm sure...don't want it wearing off quick. And whoever painted the fenders and the seat last night to be kicked...lol...wasn't you was it Barry? Looks like they used a paint brush....real thick runs in it everywhere...didn't think I was ever gonna get it lined out...still isn't gonna be "show material" but it'll suit me just fine.

Brian01 481 #33 Posted August 30, 2015 Here's where I'm at now.... I'm kinda partial to the sans fenders and toolbox look myself...pretty much, get removed the minute they roll off the truck here. i love the dual rear wheel look...I may do that some day...as of now though I just need to get a good set of silvertowns, or something like it...both of these are junk, just there to roll it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slammer302 2,154 #40 Posted August 30, 2015 I emailed bowtieguy this morning and reminded him that you were in need of sum tires Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #41 Posted August 30, 2015 lol I didn't figure it was you, just messing with ya...the seat is pitted real bad on the center..isn't gonna be perfect...white didn't turn out worth a crap, so I've decided to go with a black seat..Oh and iappreciate that...yeah I need tires bad.

slammer302 2,154 #42 Posted August 30, 2015 don't worry about the seat your but will cover it up anyways.Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #43 Posted August 30, 2015 Yep, here it is after 1st coat of paint.. Thinking ima do the wheels black as well, if they clean up and sand down good enough Hopefully get it lookin half way decent for the meet n greet. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian01 481 #44 Posted August 31, 2015 Sit the seat on there with a 2x4 under it....I believe that's the right amount of clearance I'm gonna need...my just use that for now until I can get a piece of tubing. I'll just paint it black or something so its not "as noticeable". I'll try n get it all mounted up tomorrow n see what happens. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Brian01 481 #47 Posted August 31, 2015 Well after lookin through tons are RJ pictures and only seeing 1 having fenders, I still can't make up my mind on fenders or no fenders lol. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,154 #48 Posted August 31, 2015 if you have them mise well use them plus the tool box comes in handy Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WNYPCRepair 1,875 #49 Posted August 31, 2015 (edited) I'm kinda partial to the sans fenders and toolbox look myself...pretty much, get removed the minute they roll off the truck here. Nice tractors. I can't decide which of these two I like more. I would be curious to see them with the fenders though, I'll have to see if I can find a Google image of one for comparison. What is the box on front of the one on the bottom, a weight? I kind of like the fenders, because they remind me of the MF and Ford tractors I used as a kid. Back then, those tractors seemed huge, but now I realize they weren't that much bigger than a large WH. I used to ride standing sideways (when I rode passenger), with my butt on the fender and my feet on the tranny. The disadvantage was that I had a tendency to rest my hand on the fender as I looked backward, and those tire lugs will tweak your fingers pretty good if you aren't careful.

Brian01 481 #50 Posted August 31, 2015 Yeah I'm leaving toolbox on regardless. Ill probably leave fenders too, if I can get a spacer made to work and look halfway decent Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
