Chrome don't get you home.

3 Attachment(s)

I just got the handle for my IH Lawnboy back from the chrome shop and it looks absolutely amazing! They did a fantastic job and I couldn't be happier. For those who are curious, this cost about $150. Now I need to find time to get the rest of it finished.

Looks good Tim,
I am sure you did not pay that.
Sam, some back scratching went on I guess.

Not a thing when the rest of it looks like a million bucks but the handle is covered in rust.:biggrin2:

Looks great Tim! What was used for prep prior to being coated? Sandblast?

Tim, the handle assembly looks great. Is this from the chrome shop near you?

Don't know. When I dropped it off it was chrome and rust, I assume they used something to strip the old chrome off.

Powder chrome is ok but there is no substitute for real chrome. Next I'm gonna see what the wheels and the 3-point off the 1211 will cost.:biggrin2:
