Fantastic. Love to see new life in old iron. Nothing wrong with hot rodding it up a little too! :thThumbsU

Thx to all,

with the winter were having the old girl has practically been a daily driver lately, and she is working quite well, had to replace a shear pin on the rear axle last week so I guess the traction is pretty decent although I may still fluid fill the ags, it pushes into the snow pretty good when the blower is down but a bit light on the rear when its lifted.

I just recently updated my dropbox so theres alot of pics avail from the last couple years if anyones interested in checking them out.

That is a beautiful refurbishing of a well-deserving tractor.

Well done!

Wow! That is really nice!! It sure looks sharp. I like the lights too! :fing32:

Guess I wasnt thinking at the time but I found out the hard way I cant use the halogen lights while snowblowing, hot light + cold snow= cracked lens, Im gonna see if I can convert them to led.

Update Time: the RaM is transforming again... more Hot Rod than ever. The k161 that was in it developed valve issues and I had this chrome K181 just sittin on a shelf.... WIP

Wonderful resto! The chrome is well deserved after that may years of service.

DW wants to know, could you do an equivalent resto on me?

 

[Lance Skene]

Thx, ‘Resto-Mod’ might be a better term

It still “Looks” like a cute little antique but its not?

Thx guys

Next little project is to build brackets to hang these JD cast iron fender shims off the front for a little extra weight.... and they can serve as a bumper... just in case.
