Is this what you were wanting Daniel?

BTW your hat has a stingy brim!

Well, I just like decals, instrument panel, and getting seat upholstered. She's gonna look pretty decent. Had some major hinkies in the paint, but leaving as-is. She's gonna be a worker anyway! Pics look great, but in person it's not a good paint job at all. I'm still happy. The red came out good and if the black bothers me, then I'll take those parts off later, sandblast to metal & do it right. I knew I was doing a rush job, but my patience isn't what it used to be.

You'll likely notice...the lower cut-out in the seat back....factory cut it sloppy, all slanted. The dash riser where instrument panel goes is also welded on a bit off kilter. Guess they used eyesight instead of jigs to do these things. That or their jigs were off!

I know absolutely nothing about Bush Hog tractors, but that certainly looks like a beast! I'm assuming thats a Cat-0 3 pt. What are the vitals on the PTO(rpm...)?

If at first you don't succeed...grab a bigger hammer!

Does the exhaust stack have a muffler hidden beneath the hood or is it just LOUD?

The PTO rpm I couldn't get to 2,000rpm like my Massey tiller runs at on my Massey tractor. With the pulley room I could only get it to 1,200rpm, but surprisingly it tills just as well as with my Massey. If I wanted, I could change sprockets on my tiller to get it to speed, but no need since it tills fine, plus if sped up, she'd run too fast on the Massey. Yep, it's Cat 0.

Got a baffle inside the 2" stainless pipe. Still has some sound, but she does sound good! Really not much louder than my Allis 416.

Got the decals all on now, shy of the caps that go over hood hinge bolt area. Have to make decals for those yet. The decals on the fender boxes aren't factory as there were none there OE. There were soem glitches in the paint on one side, so I made these to help hide the spots. I call them my "Action Hogs"!

Your decals are a beautiful finishing touch.

That is one beautiful, mean looking, powerful tractor.

Carry on,

Roy

I remember when you started on the Brush Hog tractor, Daniel, you did a good job.

Yep, I've been quite a while on this one. Seems as years tick by that it takes longer & longer to finish projects. Combo of older/slower & too much to do at times. Today was a tough day, but I made it through.
