Lane Ranger 11,394 #1 Posted November 14, 2009 :notworthy: My brother's renewed B-80. Travlndave's 1974 Wheel Horse B-80 updated with new paint job. Seeing Jon Bell's Johnny Cash tractor phtoso the other day made me remember these photos I took in October of my brothers red and black version of his B-80. Massey Ferguson Red and a bit of black to accent the Massey Ferguson deep orange red! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 11,394 #9 Posted November 15, 2009 The black diamond design rubber tread pads came from Menards. http://www.menards.com/ They were purchased in their trailer equipment department. They are step treads for trailers and I thinkk they are 12 X 8 in size. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bell 11 #10 Posted November 16, 2009 They also have them at Wal-Mart... Here's some on the B-80 I did last month. (I guess great minds think alike! I really need to meet your brother sometime Lane... ) Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jpmcleod 4 #11 Posted November 16, 2009 Really neat. I love the black accent. The movie of you pushing snow is great. I'm sweating today sanding parts. Got most of mine painted and will start reassembly today when I get home. I got anothet tractor Saturday and I have no idea what kind it is. I will get the specs and send them to you and maybe you can help me identify it. It has a B&S engine and is drive shaft driven. The starter/generator is all one unit and the frame tapers in the front. I believe it may be a old Montgomery Wards of some kind. All the identification is gone. Tell you brother the WH looks great. Stay in touch. I love the floor mats also. Should have a nice grip to them. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
