Looks good. You can paint the letters with a broad tip paint marker.

Well not totally done this fall / winter ill need to restore the deck. I rebuilt the tranny stripped and blasted it did some sheet metal work primed and painted it. I traded a fair-poor condition 312-8 for this. It didn't have the original K91 on it and i had a 5.5hp Honda GX160 laying around, it dropped right on with no clearance issues and it has the original push / pull throttle working with it. I had to make the header for it and it sounds pretty sweet lol. Ill post some pics of the other side too i have a pretty cool mini K&N on it. Ill be at the BIG show in June looking for more parts for it (We've had Wheel Horses since as far back as i can remember and my father took me last year for the first time and after thats when i traded for this was hooked! ). One question, how the heck can i paint the raised letters on the front without them looking like crap!?   Thank you to oldredryder for the fenders and toolbox and Wildside for the lugs and belt.

Looks good Nick. I'm not far from you. Stow is a nice city. Since you are in my neck of the woods, check out the tractor show in Sugar Creek on May 13th.

Hi and thanks! I'll have to google where sugar creek is. That sounds like something I can take my dad to.

Takes a real man to admit the wife's a better shot!  :text-+1:  My wife has shafted an arrow a couple times in the last year...
