New project

[Wheelhorse#1 1,906]

Hello all ! 

I acquired a 1968 Commando for free of charge.He would not take any money but I did gladly purchase a brand new seat he bought for it. 

The nice gentleman that owned it had plans to restore it unfortunately life got in the way decided to give it up.It then sat for about 20 yrs. Until I came along lol 

Its partially disassembled but all the parts are there.He even bought a decal set and some odds and ends parts.

I  have it running and it runs great all it needed was a carb rebuild kit and a condenser and a couple gaskets-  so far.

Engine was Rebuilt at some point and still has hone swirls in the cylinder,no smoke the deck is usable as well just needs some love.

Im redoing the wiring now and in need of an ignition switch .

He was a member here at some point not sure if he still is.

He just wanted someone to bring it back to life and not go to scrap and he knew I would do that .

Someone at some point in its life decided it needed a racing stripe  not sure how I’ll Handel that but I think it has to go .

Enough rambling a couple pix for now .

 

I told myself no more WHs well we know how that goes !

If your not going to repaint the tractor, then I think it's best to leave it.  Character marks, battle scares, poor decisions at a young age - what ever you want to call it.

Some models (Bronco's ??) did have a stripe there.
