I had to pull the motor on my original 1220. so after getting the motor off I decided I was going to get it looking a little better. so she is going to get a fresh coat of paint. Tomorrow when the post office opens the drive shaft is getting sent out for a rebuild. I am not sure about new decals yet, the old ones are not too bad. here are a few pictures.

the pictures are not in order the whole tractor is before i took it apart

That looks very nice, Dan. Thanks for sharing the photos.

Looks good! and your decals dont look to bad at all.

[NUTNDUN]

The decals are in very good shape. I would probably leave them be also. Are you going to also paint the frame or just clean it up?

[Bolens 1000]

Your doing a great Job!
The decals look fine to me.

[DGS345]

Thanks, Yes I will be painting the frame also. I should have probably waited to paint the hood as I don''t have the new motor yet and I don't know exactly how its going to fit, If the hood needs to be modified I am not going to use the hood in the pics I have another hood I will use. It is probably receiving a 12 hp Brigs a guy near me has 2 on Craigslist I just need to check shaft size and see what direction they turn I am hoping they are correct.

Doug, Sounds like it's coming along well, can't wait to see it finished...

[pharmer]

You are an inspiration for me to get mine looking that good. Can't wait for the weekend!

[DGS345]

Well the tractor is coming along well but I went to look at the motor I was hoping to transplant into it. And it wont work some people need to learn the difference between horizontal and vertical:wallbanging: Oh well it was a nice two hour road trip (one hour each way) guess ill take a look at the old motor. maybe I can get it going again gave up mostly out of frustration.

[daytime dave]

Looks like you are doing very well. I'll be interested in your engine progress. My 1220 engine is refusing to start.
