Pic thread of restorations, restomods, customs.

[953 nut 51,721]

This 953 now belongs to @pullstart (or should I say it belongs to his daughters?)   They have named it "Hot Wheels" and I am glad to see them enjoying it so much.

Here is the only Before picture I have of it.

     Picked it up on  and made a street rod themed  out of it.

Kevin and his family have given it a good home and it is getting more seat time than I had given it in years.

They all look great.  Not sure who has the biggest smile while enjoying the horses.

My first Horse- a 100% worker. IH2150 polyurethane, Wimbledon white poly on the wheels. Threw in a couple closeups of the red over red oxide 'patina', RJ hood decals, 60s style belt cover decals.

Wanted to make it look more like an older horse, howd I do?

No restorations in this set of pics, but the first day we got the “new” tractors running together in late June of 2018.

 

Some pretty strong candidates for biggest smiles, in proportion to head size at least

 At least you remembered to paint the inside of the wheels!

What can you expect from show biz? Not only did they cheap out & not paint the rims, they used a John Deere in a song about Ridin' a Horse. Had they actually done their research maybe they would have contacted @Bear G do display one of his custom 's.

The 312-8 i restored for my son

 

Used rustoleum Regal Red with hardener, clearcoat and Terry's wonderful patriotic decals to top it off.

 He's used it as his weekly mower and it has held up great.

Not sure if those wildflowers are naturally wild, but those shots are amazing!  What a picture!

Is that the one that was for sale in Butler County PA a little while ago?

It looks awesome.  

[oliver2-44 8,852]

@pullstart If we have lite rain in November/December/January then in March April we have wild Bluebonnets and Red blankets.  They are picky as they like it damp, but not soaking wet.  In May and early June we have the yellow bachelor buttons  and other wild flowers shown in the picture.  I think that picture was taken Memorial Day weekend of an exceptionally good year.  Sometime after early July through September it typically burns to brown

Well, I might was well get in on this too!  

 

[WHX?? 46,797]

Any chance we can get a before and after of the wheel barrow Dells???  

There is just something in personal satisfaction  about turning an ugly duckling into a swan... making a silk purse of a sows ear... if I had to explain you wouldn't understand. ..

Yes. I sold it to John Brush. He then sold it to someone in Oil City, Pa. where it is now.

kinda wish I’d kept this one, but I just don’t have room for them all.

Hard to keep them all.
