Thanks Guys! Well I have been off of this project for a week, cause I had to do the Spinkler System. I had to finish the PTO and that required rebuilding one I got off Flee Bay, as I Canabalized the Original one off this tractor for the Snow Chucker. I replaced both the bearings and seal and painted the PTO complete. I also had MJ mask off the front Rims as the guy at the Service station Bucked them up and nicked and scratched the fresh paint job. <_< He asked me what I was mad about and said gee its just a lawnmower I think he needs to go see the Wizard Of Ozz and get a BRAIN Anyway had to touch them up before I popped on the front Hub Caps. Like I say it has good curb appeal but sure aint a Show Tractor however I am very happy as it is about 3 week freshen up. I will consider this project Completed now and look Fwd to useing it around the Yard Now I need to find a Roller, A Cart and maybe a tiller. Heres some pics of it by our Pond.

Cheers ~Duke

Lookin good Duke!! I know of a tiller if your interested, not really to far from you.

He asked me what I was mad about and said gee its just a lawnmower

What a jacka$$ Not you, the guy at the service station. You should show him some pics so he appreciate how dumb his reasoning is.

But anyways, I'm glad you went with the white rims like I suggested.

They look nice with the hubcaps.

Last thing, when should I bring my 417 over so you can "do a good clean up and touch up the paint"? That tractor looks great, awesome job!

That is quite the garden you have there Duke! The 417 looks real good sitting next to that babbling brook you created.

On a side note, what flavor and brand is the white on the rims?
