Thegearhead0324 1,352 #1 Posted May 17, 2016 Hi everyone. I just joined here yesterday and would like to share a few pictures of my 1257 horse. Still on the look out for a plow assembly. But here she is. My dad owned it for 8 years. He had to move and down size so I inherited it. He took every nut and bolt off and painted it all by hand. I painted the wheels put on the lights and got it to run smooth again along with new battery plug a new wire and coil. She's a work in progress. 19 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thegearhead0324 1,352 #13 Posted May 17, 2016 Thank you for the compliments. Yea when we got the horse we also had the "daily mower". It was a k mart brand that never ran right. But yea we had a little fun on the lawn seeing what pulled the hardest before the strip down lol. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thegearhead0324 1,352 #21 Posted May 19, 2016 Thank you all again for the welcomes and likes! I just put in a new air filter this morning we must have over looked it because it was almost black lol. Waiting to hear from this guy about the blade about half hr away from me. If it's complete I plan on restoring it to match the horse. I'm definately far from rich paycheck to paycheck bills etc... but I'm determined to make this thing with a few attachments back to the way it was in 67 lol.
