Working on the bumper, almost the same as Hulk II. It looks like 2 months to build up tire funds, but my Grandson wants me to start on the JD-165 soon. Trying to stay off credit.

With the jack stand underneath it, have you considered that machine needs red pinstripes?
It will be un-badged like the others unless someone comes up with a decal set for the Craftsman II series.

Front end alignment. I put the rims on and it wasn't looking quite right. I tightened the lugs on the rear rims and ran a string around the rims. It was telling, Then I started adjusting and found the tie rod ends had different thread counts (one was barely attached). So I started there and got the tie rods threads at 3/4" then adjusted equally till the string showed alignment. I had to re-set the steering wheel 3 notches to center it. All looks good now.

Tires first! I book marked it, I need 2 sets and $300 is a little out of the scope right now.

Well, after some discussion with the Boss, I was allowed to purchase the tires and decals, Thanks Brandon for the link! I'll definitely be taking BOH to the October show in Temple.

Nice masking! I just hope I can apply the large decals without buggering them up.

If anyone is interested, this is the decal package. Kinda pricy at $130.00 or so, but I couldn't find them before.
Odd...the dash decal does not match my dash configuration. Where's the amp gauge?
