Firpo701 407 #1 Posted September 6, 2014 (edited) Been messing with some of my 953 parts the last couple of evenings. Here's where I'm at so far..... Nowhere close to perfect...but I like it! I'm definitely going to order some new lenses from Glen soon! These are in bad shape! Edited September 7, 2014 by Firpo701 6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Don1977 605 #8 Posted September 6, 2014 You've got it looking good, I like fresh red paint on old Wheel Horses. Makes people take a double take when they ride by and see these 40 and 50 year old Horses still at work. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Wayne 28 #12 Posted September 6, 2014 Just sitting around waiting for my engine to show up, I would go take the briggs off, but that would lead to painting the frame, then the hood, then the fender, then the deck, then buying decals, then the wheels... you all know how i goes i have been down this road with cars and trucks, have to force myself to go easy LOL 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

specialwheelhorse 174 #17 Posted September 6, 2014 Yep firpo I been horsin off and on all day, getting a couple Old Clinton engines together well enough to run. Between trying some pickled okra and checking out A new battery shop here in town. We intended to ship our daughter in Ohio some okra But that will never happen. 50 bucks to arrive next Thursday and 100 Next day with ups. Wouldn't cost much more than that to Deliver in person. My rj 58 had a Clinton on it to begin with so when I get A good running Clinton it will replace the k91 on it now. Talk more later. Jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Wheel-N-It 2,976 #18 Posted September 7, 2014 I Horsed around tonight making some repairs to the seat on the 312 Hydro I recently purchased. No I'm not using duct tape, but am experimenting with Gorilla Tape. I bought some today just to try it out to see how "Gorilla Tough" it really is. Also greased all the fittings. Still have to grease the PTO. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Geno 1,929 #23 Posted September 9, 2014 There's gotta be something I can take for this, a presciption or something. My Little Phille says she has a cure guaranteed to work but it involves a 2X4. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Molon_Labe 731 #24 Posted September 9, 2014 Geno I don't know what to say!! Today I took one of my 42" SD decks off and scraped , wire brushed and painted it (underside) with Rust-Oleum. Figure if it lasted for 35 years like it was, it will now surely outlast this old 63 year old man. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
