I have more rotted tires than good ones if you count all of the tractors, I am short on good front wheels, and why not make them all right by swapping things around that are already here. I also only let tractors go that are right, it's why I have the reputation I have ya know. Lot's of people just want one that is right, they don't want to have to work on something they just bought lol. :thumb1

Here is the one I delivered last Thursday, they just wanted something all done and right, and money was no option. They only thing changed was a non Wheel Horse rear wheel with outside valve stems which makes sense with a tiller in the way of getting to the valve stems on a Wheel Horse wheel. The OCD doesn't allow me to do things any other way either. :smile2

You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink.
I can't see the forest for the trees.

It was from Tractor Supply, was originally yellow then he added the actuator for the lift in place of the hand crank, wired it up, and painted it red. He also poured the rails full of concrete for weight, and had 3 large poured concrete weights fastened to the top. I couldn't fit the weight blocks on the load so I didn't get them. The discs can be bought for a little over $800 in the stores. :thumb1

The 312-8 is up next. Will put up some before pics then add more as it goes along. :smile2

The last pic is where someone cut out the rear wheel centers and moved them back, they will be replaced with something correct and I'll use the modified ones on a rat rod Horse or something someday lol.. :hemademe2

After the pressure washing and some shots of the old decals. Someone painted the background color then added the letters, logos, silver, and red pinstripes later. A lot of work for sure.

Just got through buffing the hood and putting some nice hood decals on her. :woo
