Let us know how you get the old ones off. I use a hair dryer to peel back the old decals to get them off, allways worked pretty good. Then clean residue glue with goof off or whatever works, Glenn Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just have to watch any paint. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
19richie66 17,583 #29 Posted June 18, 2017 If I had to pull the motor to change a regulator, Id make a patch to fit in the stock hole and move the regulator up in the housing just above the frame. As long as its in the fan air, it would be ok. Nice tractor. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slammer302 2,156 #30 Posted June 18, 2017 Here's a pic of the decals installed looks pretty good for 34$. I used a hair dryer to remove the old decals worked good except for one side the adhesive stayed stuck to the panel. WD-40 worked pretty good at removing it also 90% rubbing alcohol worked also. Tried sum decal adhesive remover but it took the paint off with it. 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Texas Todd 1,025 #33 Posted June 22, 2017 I picked it up today. Yes, the new decals are a must. Those really do POP compared to the stock ones. I will start a thread, when I get mine going. Looks like the only major snafu is the front bumper trim. I like what you did and just made another bumper. Did you just fab that up? These sure have a different feel from the classics!

slammer302 2,156 #34 Posted June 23, 2017 I just used a bumper from a craftsman or a big box store mower and cut the mounting brackets down a little and bent them out a touch and welded it on. Can't wait to see sum pics Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
