I saw one of these weights on craigslist a while ago and figured why should I buy it when I dont have an EK.

If only the weight would have been listed now LOL

Shucks. I'd try contacting the seller anyway. As rare as those EKs are now, he may not have found a buyer. It sure wouldn't hurt to give it a try.

Here's a couple pics.
They are pretty crappy. You will have to take my word it looks better in person.

I got 1 coat of primer and 2 coats of Black on

I think things are looking great myself! That is one unique drive system on that machine. Looks stout as heck!

This thing is a monster to move around. I had a fun time when I flipped it upside down to paint the underside. I painted the underside first and then once it dried I turned it right side up. I figured if I scratch the underside's paint no one will see it anyway LOL.
To move it around, I have to tie a strap to the pallet and use one of the Bolens

Looks good, Brian!

The yellow paint was the same yellow used on the snowblower and snowblade attachments of that vintage. ....Bolens changed the shade of yellow slightly in 1967(?).

Do you have a GK brochure? ...If not, I posted the only info I have on the GK in the Bolens Frame-Steer section of the manuals forum. ....There are a lot of specs in the brochure.

When I went in there the guy said it looks like a JD Yellow. I told him that no matter what color I chose, It wont have the name John Deere in it LOL
