Cub Cadet 613 #128 Posted May 30, 2016 Little bit more done. The fenders have now been sandblasted and rust holes have been welded. They were then filled the best they could. Bonnet has now been etch primed and any small pits were filled. The bonnet, seat and a few other parts have now been painted cream, it looks a lot better on the photos than it is in real life but they were both rough to start with. The first coat of paint has been put on the fenders and some other parts. 7 ranger, the showman, pmackellow and 4 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cub Cadet 613 #132 Posted June 3, 2016 After using up all of the stock of yellow paint from my local ag merchant they ordered some more from another one of their stores, two days later it arrived and it was a different brand of paint somewhere along the line the paint code got lost so in desperation we made a 60 mile round trip (thanks mum) to another ag merchant and I finally got the paint meaning the last parts could be painted . I made a new gasket for the transmission. The wiring has now been finished and the lights work The bonnet got its final coat of paint and my IH wheel weights arrived (thanks @Charlie Smith) And here it is, nearly finished just a few little bits left to bolt on but it starts and runs like new! I'm very happy 10 Triumph66, S1g, DevonianRedneck and 7 others reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
