perry Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 i never posted pics on this one when i got it last year 08. picked this up last year for $0 from a fellow member here at the club. the tractor was allready stripped down and the body panels primed. it was in pretty good shape before i started on it. also got a mowerdeck with it in good shape. i pulled it out of the shed last week and started putting it back together. here is some pics of it allmost done. still have to put the crome wonder boy emblems on, finish and clean the seat, and button up the engine controls. anybody have a good way of cleaning old seat ?.

HubbardRA Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Perry, I would get a rattlecan of the spray vinyl dye and re-dye it to a clean white color. I have used red and black dyes and they worked pretty well.
MPH Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 Now that looks nice Perry. Question that choke lever on a 700, thought they didn't come into being til the 725. Have you tried Simple Green and a brush on the seat to clean it, then a vinyl softener.
ReedS Posted March 10, 2009 Posted March 10, 2009 So that's what mine is supposed to look like!! Very nice!sm04sm04
SimpleTom Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Looks great Perry! I am waiting for some warmer weather up here so I can start painting mine. Nice job! Tom

perry Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 found in the made when section - 1959 models 990168/169 700 Wonderboy [url]http://www.simpletractors.com/made_when/1957-1964.htm[/url] ill have to dig the mower deck out and get the #'s off it. also does the mower belt pto knob look factory ?. or is it supposed to be black round plastic ?.
johnmonkey Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Where did you get the tires? my 63 Gmark had similar tires, but I could only get snow treads in that size. jh
perry Posted March 11, 2009 Author Posted March 11, 2009 they are original tires. i used dupli-color truck & van wimbledon white T205 paint for the rims and all the other white on the tractor. it was a nice close match to the original white plus meijers had a 50% off sale on all their auto paint last weekend. i just grabbed some on the fly and got lucky on the color match.
xenon172 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Looking mighty fine Perry, can't wait to see the final photos
PeppyDan Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 It look great Perry! Is it my imaginationsm00? or is a plate/cover fastened to the inside of the right front rim? Dan
Chris727 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Perry, can you post another pic of the PTO lever? It might have been a modification. Both my 700's had a lever with a round knob just like the rest of the B-series.
Simplicity85 Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Now will have to wait until he re-store's all his LL's:O:O:DdOd

MikeG Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 Perry, According to my records your Model 19 Briggs was built in Jan. or Feb. 1960. Maybe they started to introduce some 725 parts toward the end of 700 production. Anything seems to be possible with these old tractors, its always fun to try to unravel the mystery. My 725's engine was built in Feb. of 1961 and has all the features shown in the catalogs for that year.
MDB Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 looks like you spent some quality time on that one. Good job.:DdOd
ka9bxg Posted March 11, 2009 Posted March 11, 2009 I use scrubbing Bubbles on my seats.Works well and does not harm the seat. My wonerboy 700 has a straight shifter on it. How bad were the front axel shafts? Looking nice.
Time1992 Posted March 12, 2009 Posted March 12, 2009 Wow looks great, I think the rattle can vinyl paint is a good idea to save the seat. Dupli color makes some good stuff Kragen sells it. I sure hope my 4041 comes out that good. Tim
