702854boy 230 #1 Posted Friday at 10:41 PM A couple of weeks ago we got a six speed that we are planning to put in our 854 and make it and 864. We found after tearing it apart last weekend that it has the wrong axles and now we are waiting for axles from ebay to ship. Last week and weekend I painted a bunch of random knick paddy whack parts. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 9,974 #12 Posted Saturday at 08:44 AM Don't forget to chase the threads in the hubs before assembly. And check the free fit of the hubs on the axles - that overspray in the bores will most likely have to go too.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

702854boy 230 #14 Posted Saturday at 02:17 PM And then the other day I also used some brake clean and wiped away someone's attempt to do the Kohler lettering and redid myself with a white paint marker 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ebinmaine 74,402 #15 Posted Saturday at 02:46 PM I like that off-white seat. Gives good contrast to the sea of red. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I used Rusty Ivory white and it looks a lot better than before because before a po painted very white and I'll have to post some comparison photos of it later once I go outside and can take a picture of it now. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep. We like the slightly tan whites here too. Trina and I use Rust-Oleum 2X Cottage white. It's a lighter tan than ivory. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You could always name it and have that as a decal on the left side linkage cover! Terry is very open to custom stuff even using what WH “font”. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I've used furniture paste wax and a buffing wheel but mine were not too badly weathered. I’m sure other members will have more ideas! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
702854boy 230 #25 Posted 23 hours ago Got some stuff in the mail today. Dad's thinking about taking them to work so he can put them in a lathe and polish them up a little bit. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
