bo dawg 478 #1 Posted May 4, 2015 (edited) Figured it was about time to make the 79 C-161 black hood a " black hood"! Always did like the red, but the more black hood tractors I get that every time I look at the red, it just seems naked! Next will be the C-175 Edited May 4, 2015 by bo dawg 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 19,875 #3 Posted May 4, 2015 Looks great! I was never a fan of folks who painted the entire hood red. Mike......... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

shallowwatersailor 3,213 #6 Posted May 4, 2015 Nice variety with the plastic and metal hoods. It is Interesting to see the different headlight treatment between the two. Also interesting is the evolution from the B-series of 1974-1977 headlights to the 300/400/500 series (and Workhorse) of 1985 on. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bo dawg 478 #7 Posted May 4, 2015 Thanks all. Yeah at first I was ok with the red top hood but now that I've had 2 of them for a few years I don't like it as much, just looks naked with out the black. Especially sitting next to the other 2 original black hoods I have. I'm really a fan of the black. Waiting on decals now to put on the front of it. Don't think I will go with the original black and silver small horse head that you see on them. I think will go with the red and white 2.125" decal. Should really pop on the black paint. I can't remember the brand of paint till I get home to see, but it was a wheel paint from TSC store, matt finish, but has a good luster to it I think. Not to shiny but not flat. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
