Vinylguy 4,672 #76 Posted June 20, 2015 Getting close to completion now Steve...see the new custom Xi decal design Terry is offering? http://www.redoyourhorse.com/tractor-kit-of-the-month/I imagine, something similar for the 500 series would be pretty sweet too. http://www.redoyourhorse.com/520-h-wheel-horse-decal-set/http://www.redoyourhorse.com/520-h-gold-and-black-decal-set/ I made this set and added hammered gold leaf overlays on my 520. It sold one day later because I had it sitting outside after mowing 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,263 #84 Posted June 22, 2015 (edited) It is pretty much done. Need to do some more touch up and cleaning and paint the rims.

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,263 #86 Posted June 23, 2015 I had this set of hubcaps on the shelf that I was going to bring to the show to sell but then thought maybe throw them on the 520-8 in honor of Ken B ... A few people wanted some close up pics of the hood. Here they are. Terry's decals are great ! 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stevebo-(Moderator) 8,263 #88 Posted June 24, 2015 Thanks Jeff. I still need to paint the engine tins and pto along with a few other things like the rims and may be even a little miller's tire paint on the tires? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Ken B 3,132 #92 Posted June 24, 2015 Turned out real nice Steve. I think the hub caps on this machine really make it pop and add some class to it. I'd leave em on... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
