WHX??

I was most impressed as to how it ran and how strong the hydro was. Don't see that often on a new to me tractor.Most often they need carb cleaning, motor or tranmission or electrical work. If you get the time Mike a few tips on some clean up tips would be great! :handgestures-thumbupright:

Very sharp looking tractor.

I too thought it was a strong machine when you were doing the "chain pile" at Portage!

You do great work. I have a 753 I should do that with. What is your process you use to make them look like that?

Wow thanks for the compliments:thanks:.    Unfortunately this process is an old family secret:angry-nono: . I will say it was done by hand, and took about 20hours of labor. And once again :text-thankyoublue::thanks::thanks: for the compliments.

Looks nice. I always attempt a Resurrection on a WH before repainting.

      This is my commando I just picked up awhile ago. Looks like it was-tried to be a puller. Got it with no motor but have a strong 14 to install. Does anyone know how to preserve the sheet metal but keep the “rust look”. Will be using this unit for small farm chores. I really like the look currently with the rust and wear, kinda tells a story I suppose but I don’t want to leave the Tin “unprotected”. I’ve heard of guys lightly rubbing down the metal with used motor oil?  Any thoughts, comments, concerns are highly appreciated!
