546cowboy 301 #1 Posted May 8, 2011 :WRS: A friend of mine told me about an auction that had a 14h.p. Wheel Horse in it. Well when we got there I could not believe someone did this to a vintage WH. Needless to say I had to rescue it and bring it home with me. Don't know if it runs yet and it took some gas and a lot of rubbing to get that green paint off the stickers. Well here are some pictures of day two of the green machine redo. The hood pictures are of a hood I had already done off a 16 Auto parts tractor I have. The parts tractor has a good original seat too. I did get it started and drove it around a little before I started the redo. I should have it redone by the end of the week. Enjoy! :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

boovuc 1,090 #3 Posted May 8, 2011 I wish some "good" 520's would pop up in Central PA soon! As for the Bronco.............that paint job is akin to abuse of corpse! Thank you for rescuing it! BooVuc Mill Hall, PA Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stevasaurus 22,301 #4 Posted May 8, 2011 Nice horse, but that paint job gives a disgusting meaning to going green. :hide: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

smoreau 658 #6 Posted May 8, 2011 I'm thinking the guy that painted it was color blind. I also have noticed a lot of 520's showing up for sale lately. haven't found the one that's right for me yet. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rocko_brown 0 #12 Posted May 10, 2011 looks like someone doesnt kno the meaning of "redsquare". The incompitence of some ppl amazes me. Well atleast its safe now nd u can get rid of that nasty color and seat and make it a real horse again. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
