12 hp Kohler 1,020 #1 Posted July 22, 2017 I have a fraind that is a major wheel horse collector, I went to his house this morning for some parts for my 753. I saw these hub caps laying out side I picked them up to look at them and he said "you want them you can have them". They are my first pair of wheel horse hub caps, they have a coat of green paint on them and black but I think I can get that off to get them back to there original glory. 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

WVHillbilly520H 10,376 #6 Posted July 23, 2017 If you can't get them to "clean" up, I had a set powder coated close to polished aluminum then hand painted the embossing, Jeff. 10 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
