KenK Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Sam here's the B-10 from a year and a half ago.Remember it in it's red coat of paint. Ya think she's ready for the next show.
stumpy Posted November 14, 2003 Posted November 14, 2003 Ken, Man oh man...that's almost too pretty to use. Very nice work.
MPH Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 Ken, thats beyond a fine looking job. Did you have the chrome redone? Show only???MPH
samson Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 Nice job!!! I'm jealous. The sickle mower really sets it off.
DaleC Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 Ken, What a beauty. Mercy but you transformed that Bee.
gregc Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 Ken, that's a honey bee! An absolutely outstanding job.8D
bubba_t _flubba Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 Ken, you deserve a great big "that a boy". I would show my wife, but I know she would not understand the tears in my eyes. Greg
JoeJ Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 :DWOW!! Ken, your's sitting next to Dave's would be an awsome show attention getter, that's for sure!
KenK Posted November 15, 2003 Author Posted November 15, 2003 I bought this tractor along with a lot of other stuff a while back from Smilinsam.It has always been a B-10 but was painted red when I got it.For a matter of fact,the last tractor I got from Sam was a red HB-212.They must like em red east of the mississippi.:D Oh yes this is my garage queen,It will probably only come out for a wash and a few shows.
mowerman1193 Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 You did a exelent job on that...I hope my tractor come's out like that...
Tacey Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 What a beauty! Looks better than new. Congratulations on a job well done. Tacey
SmilinSam Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 :DI guess everytime I get a red one I'll just have to call you first.. That was quick work on the sickle mower for sure. Maybe in another year and a half I can see a finished picture of the HB??????
RedbarnRick Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 What a craftsman you are Ken, I'm really getting inspired to restore my tractor when I see such outstanding results like this.
jkmustang1 Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 DROOL DROOL SLAP STOMP TRIP CRASH Now that I picked my self up from the floor after falling on my tounge. I can tell you how great that unit looks. If my late b-10 Ralph looks that good I would be so proud. As you should be of the great work you have done and the tractor that has come back from the brink to live again.
KenK Posted November 15, 2003 Author Posted November 15, 2003 Well Sam I'll try and fill that order.I was thinking of doing the B-1 next,that way all my round hooded models would be done.Between this one and the big-ten my tractor funds are a little low.Its been costing me about $300-$400 to restore these old girls.(that don't include labor,but I do enjoy it)
MDB Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 That is one fine looking late B10,8D An excellent job, I can hardly wait to see your B1 and your HB 212:)
MPH Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 Ken, is that 300-400 bucks include engine work and other mechical parts??MPH
dlcentral Posted November 15, 2003 Posted November 15, 2003 Ken, AWESOME machine,, congrats on the restoration!We gotta intro these 2 machs.to each other with the club banner in the pic! Good job!
