WHX?? 57,442 #1 Posted 23 hours ago (edited) Like I said In what's in your mirror ... the holy grail ... well of round hoods anyway. And quite the full circle back story anyway. This girl popped up on MP and two members sent me texts about it since it was local. Nice I thought but I already have this one. A nice shiny resto to boot which is most likely my last resto. Just somethin about one in her original work clothes tho. This one fits the bill to a tee. So I'm not really interested it it but still it's a desirable model and pretty much all ther. So @prondzy texts me and I say sure I'll go get it just for the thrill of the score you want it. And @ineedanother says he has a problem... I says work out a deal and be morn' happy to go fetch it. So he does and I do. Not gonna say I'll double yer money Mike but wanna make a quick Franklin?!?!? Naw forget it I got my eye on a A-60. I'll let you guys stew on these pics then the back story as good as I can tell it along with the good the bad & the ugly & more pics as long as you behave. You horse men should know what it is just from the first pic. Edited 23 hours ago by WHX?? 6 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ri702bill 12,495 #4 Posted 15 hours ago Nice! Is the correct double pulley setup in place on the S/G? Are the rear fender ends pointy, not rounded - 701 only?? I do not see the toolbox braces under the set.... Those Firestones look to be in good shape too. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep and the belt guard is absolutely perfect. 2 hours ago, ri702bill said: rear fender ends pointy, not rounded - 701 only?? I do not see the toolbox braces under the set.. I just noticed the no braces and will have to look at the fenders. Not sure if the starter solenoid is there either. 2 hours ago, ri702bill said: Those Firestones look to be in good shape too. Yes they are and the fronts are in excellent shape as well. Gotta believe they are all orginals. 9 hours ago, Blaine said: More WH porn please. On it's way. I was going to get it up to the splash pad and see if I could get it running but now not sure if I'm even gonna do that. I don't want to interfere with anything that Mike might have planned for it. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I got the what for just for bringing this one home and had to swear on a stack of bibles that it wasn't for me. Still Sylvia since I don't use them anymore might be worth it??? 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 9,948 #14 Posted 5 hours ago @WHX?? hint ? that oiled front end patina , is literally showing you the way , don,t turn this into a show queen , penetrating oil spray down , leave it in the sun , as it absorbs the light creeping / seeping lubricant , it will start to show it self, NEVER USE A SCRUNGE PAD ON IT ! carefully wipe it down , with a clean , mineral oiled cloth , gently let it show itself , done a lot of it , regularly wipe my stuff down with a clean cloth , mineral oil , no dust / dirt , just consistent clean patina paint , perfect for era. just try a small area , all my paints recovered in careful stages , final paint with a 6" electric palm buffer , cleaner wax . your oiled darkened era finish would , be just right , hot sun really shows you the way , like the underside of a mower deck. pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
