Bump.

Come on guys, someone MUST be sitting on one of these. This sled just will not look good with the old tank in it. Can trade calendars or cash money. Please don't let me down Deere crew. Take a look and tell me what you guys think? Please excuse the fair quality cell phone pic. I need to get some pics developed.

If I give Rainville my autograph, maybe he will let you have one of his. I'll do that for only you Dusty!

We tried stripper on the tank, it appears that most of the stains are on the inside and i don't know how to get inside of it. Thanks for the tip though Wader.

Thanks Brock.... i guess. It makes more of a thud Brian. Thank goodness all it damaged was the engine shroud. One of these days i might actually get this one finished.....
