CasualObserver 3,406 #7 Posted January 5, 2011 Don't knock your high quality lane grading apparatus..... I used a very similar one when I was growing up. Only I didn't use the slot hitch, just had a long piece of chain with quicklinks at the ends to pull it with. That way I could flip it over and put some weight on it and use the other side to dig a little if needed, and had directional grading control by where I hooked the chain. :banghead: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sscotsman 132 #8 Posted January 5, 2011 Im curious about the white paint vs. the "Linen" color that I have seen used and discussed on RJ58 restorations.. Did WH switch to pure white at some point? Or do sometimes people do repaints with white just because they like it? (not that there is anything wrong with that! thanks, Scot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wheelly 0 #10 Posted January 5, 2011 I guess i just like the white. I think it makes the red look more red. But it is just my preference. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
sscotsman 132 #11 Posted January 5, 2011 I guess i just like the white. I think it makes the red look more red. But it is just my preference. ok! thats cool.. I was just wondering if there was a historic WH color switchover at some point.. (im going to be restoring a 1964 854, which I believe was "Linen") so I was just curious.. the white does look nice! very "clean and crisp".. thanks, Scot Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TT-(Moderator) 1,128 #12 Posted January 5, 2011 There were around four intentionally different "whites" and at least that many "reds" used over the years. That doesn't include batch variations or alternate suppliers. Get it close - no one will take points off at a show. :thumbs: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Coadster32 793 #17 Posted January 6, 2011 Thanks for the additional pics. (I can see them alot better on the home computer) I like the grader, it's a good idea. You did a nice job on the tractor. As far as the white paint goes, 1964 was a Linen Beige year from my understanding. I use a slight off white, (cream color), and I personally think it looks better than white. However, the reproduction seat covers on e-bay are white-white-white. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

tbbahner 27 #21 Posted January 6, 2011 Nice tractor. Those weights are a good idea. Seems like xx4's are a little light in the front with the Tec's in them. My 654 has set me on my butt a couple times. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
