The Tuul Crib 7,339 #2 Posted December 17, 2019 Take lots of pictures cause youll need them going back together. Don't know how far your going with your rebuild but what l used to clean up the rust is the electrolysis method. It removes paint and all! Post lots of pics!! 2 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Pullstart 66,690 #14 Posted December 18, 2019 At what point did the bailing wire operator look at his job, stick his hands on his hips with his chest stuck out with pride and say, “Yeah, that’ll do just fine!”? 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

dclarke 4,082 #18 Posted December 19, 2019 Well this afternoon “Dirtpoor” stopped by for a visit and some horse talk, turns out he lives in the same neighborhood as I do, I also had a chance to give his tractors a quick once over and he’s got a couple of nice projects. Welcome to the forum and the addiction “Dirt”. Nice to meet you! It’s good to have another W. H. guy so close. 4 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

His work is excellent. It’s great to have someone with his experience living in the same neighborhood. 👍 Denny when you get bored you are welcome to come help me 😁 2 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Dirtpoor 131 #22 Posted December 20, 2019 Trying the patina look on the raider 10 its the look Denny asked me to try. I tried it on the hood. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dirtpoor 131 #23 Posted December 22, 2019 Alright made a little progress tonight Denny came by. We spend some time talking and beating on the right rear wheel. It was rusted on. Got it off with a sledgehammer. Denny gave me some rear rims to replace the back ones. In the last picture the tie rods have these flat pieces metal that stop the wheels when turned so far. Denny said he has never seen those before. Has anyone else seen the stops. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yes but mine is shorter then yours, also mine is only on the right side steering linkage too. But my WH came with a right side discharge deck so I just figured the left side they wanted a very tight turning radious for cutting around sharp corners. But that was just my guess when I noticed it. Mike 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
