Jake Kuhn 1,579 #1 Posted August 6, 2015 Hi all,Picked this one up a few weeks ago but haven't gotten a chance to post it yet. Found this one for sale on the side of the road about 10 miles from home! Its a 550 and I really like the original paint on it. I'm planning to go through the motor and trans on this one and just leave the paint as-is. Looks like it has the original engine too, it has a h60 tag on the shroud but has the indent in the back side of the block like I've seen on lausons. I'm also thinking about repainting the wheels on it, but still haven't decided yet. I will probably see how they look after being pressure washed before deciding to paint or not. Anyways, heres a couple of pictures.Jake 13 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jake Kuhn 1,579 #10 Posted August 7, 2015 Thanks all, and yep I think this one is cooler the way it is then painted, and a lot less work! Its going to wait for a while until I get to it, I'm trying to finish up some other stuff first but maybe work on it this fall or winter. I may pressure wash it now though, and try on a set of wheels and tires I have that are already painted and if I don't like them I can always put these back on. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
