clintonnut 126 #1 Posted September 19, 2009 Well I have been working hard this week to get stuff done for the Steam O Rama. The first was the D-250. It had 150 hours on the oil and needed changed. The oil pan gaskets busted out as well. So some stuff was done. Chrome valve cover added: New oil filter and oil: A good check of internal parts since the oil pan was removed: Fixed the tow hitch to lift more weight....... ...To haul around Tractordave3128's RJ-58: And just for Chits and Gigs a temporary hood: The RJ-35 vari speed is coming together after I gathered the parts: I picked up these NOS lights online. Exactly the same as the Peterson 401: And made a light bar for them: Next week the vari speed will be finished and the Suburban 550 and RJ-58 (mine) hood will be refinished. All in time for the Steam O Rama. Charlie Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MikesRJ 558 #2 Posted September 19, 2009 Nice work Charlie. If you happen to see a "Cyclops" light (HL-6) at Steam-O-Rama give me a call. I'm looking for one. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
