I had the bright idea to get that broadmoor "that I got from Johnsup" into my basement. All I have is a bulkhead. So After putting plywood down the strairs and hooking chain to my 3310v, I lowered it down the ramp. After a good half an hour, it thawed out. I gave it a good look over and discoverd that it is a 65 not a 64. Model number 990288 " the deluxe model:D:D It looks like it is a 6hp briggs. The motor does turn. Sounds like it has good compression. Amazingly I hooked a bat to the starter/generator and it spun!!! How lucky am I:D. Well the next thing I know Im taking the whole thing apart. Some one painted over the orange, for a gold color. I have the same frame all ready and waiting to be built. Well maby a quick paint job. I just hope I remember were all the parts go.lol. I'll post some pic after. My camera whent on the frits and I lost all the pics of it all together. I'll go down at half time and snap some new ones. My wife thinks I'm nuts but I'm having fun. ELon

Yes I have to agree once you get one of these tore apart, you look and can't believe how many parts there are.... and before you know it you will have a nice looking Tractor.....

I belive the deluxe modle is one that has blot on hubs, a starter/generator, and the high/low. I think the steering wheel is diferent as well. There mite be more differences but In not sure what they are. Elon

Well, after just about a whole box of S.O.S pads, I think I got the bumper as best as I'm going to get it. You can still see pit's in it but.... my arm's are hurtinglol. I also got the sheet metal off the engine and sanded and painted. Elon [img]/club2/attach/ehertzfeld/bumper2.jpg[/img] [img]/club2/attach/ehertzfeld/sheetmetal.jpg[/img]

A high speed wire wheel brush on a side grinder works wonders on the Chrome Work. As long as you don't stay in one place too long.

I was thinking of that but I kinda thought it would scratch it. Elon

Buffing wheels on the grinder would do wonders. Remind me this spring and I can put a few belt drive grinders and buffing wheels on the Sale part of the club. I wonder if a buffing wheel designed for a car, with the right compound would not do a nice job on the bumper. Be sure to protect it right away or the yuck will be right back.

Project looks good, keep it up Elon. Looks like only one real potential problem:( That issue can be easily avoided if you take fast action. I'm afraid that if you don't return those cans soon you just might run out of work area:)

What I like for cleaning chrome is a fine brass brush in my drill, haven't found one soft enough for the peanut grinder yet. Leave no scratching marks and a pretty good shine for the condition of the chrome I've done. I then spray it with clear-coat.

That sleep problem is why I don't work in my basement. But I did put a heater and a fridge in my shop. Looks great, don't stop now.
