jusjeepn 59 #11 Posted October 17, 2008 Well the 1045 came home yesterday! Not quit what I expected! I apologize now for the quality of pics! Let me know what you think! More holes than swiss cheese in the hood! Deck has been repaired with some foreign metal thinner than a soda pop can. Gas tank is a 60's 7-8hp briggs. Air filter cover appears to be an old tuna can. 8hp tucky has a HH100 shroud that has been heavily modified to work and has green blood flowing from under the black paint. The carb is an original W/H part. The battery fills the tool box nicely don'tcha think? The dash does have the original gen light still in it but that is th eonly thing original about it. Missing the park brake lever and cover. Does anyone know why I have to bow the hood to clear the steering wheel ( I mean seriously bow the hood)? Believe it or not I drove this masterpiece onto my truck and off it. So on the plus side the trans works in 1st and reverse. Am I ? Should I just (lots)? Gimme your input!!!

bell 11 #12 Posted October 17, 2008 WOW, I thought mine was hacked.... Sorry man, that looks pretty rough. It is fixable... But, it would take a lot. I might be interested in some parts if you decide to part it out... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian1045 28 #13 Posted October 17, 2008 My hood had the same little bow down by the latch also. Mine had been rolled when I was a wee pup Those 2 spoker steering wheels seem to collapse over time causing the hood to hit it. My Grandpa had wrinkled the hood there to get it passed the steering wheel. Here's my photobucket link if you need to look at parts, decals, etc. that you may need for reference. http://s426.photobucket.com/albums/pp349/brian1045/?start=40 BTW... What is this? Missing the park brake lever and coverAm I missing it too? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimD 3,347 #14 Posted October 17, 2008 personnally, i would have a lot of fun bringing her back from p.o. hell. but that's what i like to do. you have what looks to me like a sound base for a restoration. beauty is in the eye of the beholder, and i see a diamond in the rough! good luck with it. jim Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Brian1045 28 #15 Posted October 17, 2008 I found the pic of my hood hitting the steering wheel as well. That will be fixed as soon as I find a 2 spoker. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jusjeepn 59 #16 Posted October 17, 2008 These are the cover and lever I am missing These are your photos Brian, so no, your not missing them! I'm going to Portland for the swapmeet this weekend so I'll take it with me. If it doesn't sell or I can't find parts for repair then I'll probably part her out to help some of you other R/S members. If I do indeed sell/part her out, Kelly I'll definatly be wanting those Electros. If parted out, I will give all R/S members first shot before posting to ebay. for your input guys!
