Changed the color. Realized black doesn't really match the Wheelhorse logo so sprayed some grey metallic paint on. 

The reason the backing plate is taped off is I am going to epoxy the lights and logo to it and wanted to bond to the aluminum itself instead of paint.

I think I am going to trim down the plastic Wheelhorse piece about 1/4" so the edges match the lights.

Thanks! I was hoping it would haha 

I wanted something that looked kinda like it did originally, but with much better light output. Also the original lens in good shape are expensive and as time goes on there is less and less of them.

Correct that is the entire length of the shaft. 

While you are looking if you see a PTO bracket I would appreciate it! 

Thanks!!

Ohh boy... So started welding up cracks and holes. 

So the hood is a lot rougher then I realized it has a good bit of bondo in it.

It's fixable I believe but gonna be some work. Already hammered some but it's gonna be a lot of hammering and then bondo as thin as possible.

Might look for some hoods locally as well.

 

One of the hood mount brackets was welded on at one end. So cut it off and got that part of the hood fixed as well.

Next is the seat pan had a bunch of cracks and holes that needed filled. Seat mount had cracks as well. Thinking about taking those metal bars that were on the seat springs to strengthen the whole seat pan mountsIMG_20250820_173508582_HDR.jpg.0122bda52ba585bbc440729397ac6faf.jpg

Also welded the sleeve hitch. Wire stopped feeding halfway through the weld so its got a little clump in the middle but good enough.
