The first drive
Alice and DeeDee out for a photo shoot
A look at the hood and gauge cluster
Shining the lights on the sides of the engine
And finally the decals are on!
Not completely done yet but ready for a parade
Video on the dyno at the Orange Spectacular 2007
The Dyno operator hand signs a respectable 50 HP
On the dynamometer the temperature was showing hot.
They had an infrared temp sensor that said the temp was fine.
Home again I put the two guages in a pan of water together.
The water was about 185 degrees
There didn't seem to be any way to re-calibrate the guage.
I was able to clean the glass of the hard rusty film it had.
I masked the glass and bead blasted the bezel.
Then shiny silver paint made it look like this.
I think it will do just fine
The tractors first trip to the farm where it gets to stretch
DeeDee wasn't afraid to get dirty either!
Here on Christmas Eve out in the new snow
There were several other pictures from the photo shoot in the snow
