How about a 3D WHEELHORSE LOGO, . @Oldskool this is what I was thinking too. @Wheel Horse 3D Grey and I need to have a talk. 3D would add a good depth to the emblem/wording. 19 minutes ago, R Scheer said: having duallies instead Could you 'splain that a tad? What might that look like? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Oldskool 6,582 #1602 Posted February 13, 2022 Considering its a "Colossus" Wheel Horse does that mean it's a C-series? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

peter lena 8,072 #1606 Posted February 13, 2022 @ebinmaine, thanks for the picture over load , noticed a number of times a spot to , add a vertical fuel check valve , easy to have a straight drop vertical section of fuel line , that would hold your fuel in wait for a start , typically " hard pipe " or tube the majority of a run , use steel brake tubing for most of it , use metal braided swage lock hoses at finish . like your views on the build , pete 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

R Scheer 499 #1608 Posted February 13, 2022 What I was thinking is the Hellhorse, but in an emblem format, that could be put on the hood near the steering wheel. Kind of like they do on pickups. Instead of the single wheel though use a duallie, just to live up to the Colossus name. Hopefully this makes sense, I need coffee. 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ranger 1,639 #1610 Posted February 13, 2022 Thoughts comments questions suggestions opinions? Beautiful, How about, “POWERED by”, in raised letters above the “KOHLER” name. With maybe “WHEELHORSE” lettering down each side of the grill shell? Doug. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Extremely cool idea, but then what'll that poor generator do for a radiator cover? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 63,200 #1615 Posted February 13, 2022 Got the majority of the old head gaskets scraped off. Next will be to set up the flat tempered glass table top with some sandpaper and hand plane both heads. Paint Department got a few things coated as well. Valve covers, points cover, and a bracket for the coil. Also this dipstick and tube. This one came off the 1970 Charger Hydro. I'll fill the 2 qts, install the indicator, and see where it lays on the stick. Might change the short pipe section if needed. 3 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ebinmaine 63,200 #1617 Posted February 16, 2022 A little more done. Valve covers are on. Cleaned the points and checked the Gap again and installed the cover. Cleaned the oil filter adapter up and put that on. 8 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
