Looking good with the bling

Ok, maybe. But I'm doing it pretty much one handed at times, and hanging on with the other so I don't fall out of the chair, it's a drag for sure:biggrin2:
These NF's don't leave alot of room for anything, plus I'm being extra careful so not to scuff up the paint.
But you're right, going to the dentist isn't fun.

Wow
 
That's one heck of a "face lift".... :-)

Looking GREAT

John

PS: Any leaks when you hoist the front like that or is the trans empty?

Re-fabed the seat mounts. I had a problem with the seat rubbing the fenders before, so a little extra height took care of that.
Also, what are the reflectors supposed to be finished like? I got the rust off, but have nothing (clean) to compare them to.

Great pics, Todd! You're doing a top notch job!

Your going to have to throw a blanket over that at night. The glow will keep the neighbors awake!:) Man that is coming together nice. Is that stainless or chrome fasteners? I like the addition of the acorn nuts to cover the treads. Your going totally bling on us here!
Great close up detail shots of the sweet 100!
Regards,
Chris

Chris, I only used stainless with the acorn nuts, everything else is new bolts, nuts and washers. I know it's not the original IH hardware, but I wasn't intending a full blown restore, just a "Face Lift"

I used acorn nuts on my #40 box blade and love the look they give and it's great not having threads to snag the pants legs too. Awesome work Todd!

No leaks, but everything is empty.
But I always do the same with all my tractors to clean out the grass in the decks. Just don't raise them up from the back.

Once again. Does anyone know what the finish should be on the reflectors?

Duke, they were all rust, I just wire wheeled them, it's pretty much bare metal.
