prondzy 3,889 #1 Posted March 20, 2016 Here is the 702 I have been working on this winter. I plan on using it for pulling a single bottom plow hence the duals in one side. It was covered in black paint, I managed to salvage most of the original paint. The hood was missing so I put on this one I bought at a swap meet last spring. Couldn't bring myself to clean off the algae/moss growing on it so I coated over it with linseed oil. This is a patina you cannot recreate and I thought I'd share it and see what you guys think. 18 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sparky-(Admin) 23,169 #4 Posted March 20, 2016 I love the old, rusty and worn look! Why do I see the rear axle at the hub on the dual wheel side? Must be one loooong axle! Mike......... 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
prondzy 3,889 #5 Posted March 20, 2016 No sparky it's a dud. That is an old hub and axle with bad keyways. I cut off the axle and bolted the hub to the rim it's just for looks, good eye on the detail 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Retired Wrencher 5,792 #9 Posted March 20, 2016 As a friend of mine always says there only original once. Nice looker the 657 I have is like that I use Marvel with a rag wipe it on let it sit for a day wipe it down the next done. Sure beats s/ blasting or sanding till you fingers fall off. enjoy. 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I cut off the axle and bolted the hub to the rim it's just for looks, good eye on the detail I was kind of wondering the same thing when I saw the axle and hub, but if there was someone with some old truck axles and a stout lathe how cool would it be to build dually axles that would accept hubs, like the big farm tractors run! 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
