| Not too bad (the rotors)... chuck em up in a drill, and run some oily sand paper over them. I have knives that have been lying out for years unfinished that I need to do rust removal on too LOL
Good luck on the build, and keep us posted _______________________________________________ I can do anything I set my mind to... the impossible just takes me a little longer Tech Manual mod, If ya need it, and cant find it... Just ask.... Pm if I'm not on line | |

| actually, salty vinegar removes most of it with a wipe... Let it sit in the salt and vinegar for about 20 minutes, then take a green scotchbrite pad to it... wash and rinse in water... Leaves a dull grey finish. _______________________________________________ I can do anything I set my mind to... the impossible just takes me a little longer Tech Manual mod, If ya need it, and cant find it...

| With those Snow-Hog tires on the front in picture #5 it looked like a pure Mowron style rally mower (sorta). Looks awesome dude. Nice mower!

| Thanks guys I been putting more wrench time into her lately. New update just was out after work I used google tracking on my phone and clocked myself at 45.5 mph with a small hill to help lol it was awsome wish I could have had someone video it! Got a little hairy when the unbalanced tires started to shake a little around 35 | |

| I think it would look really awesome if you did the snowblower tires from the first tire picture on the right, and put them with bearclaws on the back. Those snowblower tires look sorta like mini bearclaws. | |

| I like the craftsman snow tires a lot. I like a skinny front tire because seance it's 2wd you want the least amount of rolling resistance. They don't float on top of terrains too. Nice romp! | |
