Cvans 1,009 #1 Posted January 1, 2020 It always amazes me what a positive difference painting the wheels makes. The 12 hp. models are one of my favorites. Good power and decent fuel economy and eight speeds to boot. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ZXT 2,401 #3 Posted January 2, 2020 Excellent find! What did it take to get it running? I'm assuming it didn't when you got it since it went for a ride. Painting the wheels definitely made a difference. I think I'm going to pull the trigger and do that to mine. What paint did you use, if you don't mind me asking? What's the "proper lift mechanism" that Don is speaking of? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Cvans 1,009 #4 Posted January 2, 2020 Just a tip for those considering painting wheels. Rather than masking the tires or breaking the beads, with a brush paint the sidewalls with brake fluid. If the fluid is wet when you paint it works better. Stuffs good for the rubber and the over spray comes right off. Learned this in a body shop back in the 60's. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
