got everything cleaned, primed and painted, getting ready to install my brand new Briggs Motor. Gonna try to get it installed by Tuesday. I'm including an original picture when I got it.

You are doing a great job on it. :thumbsup: Did you repaint or replace the wheels? They are awesome and look brand new! :smile:
Thanks! it looked like the front wheels had been changed sometime, I pressure washed them and they came out very clean. I got the back wheels and tires *unused* off of Craigslist for 45 bucks!! The fronts and the backs are the very light gray color, instead of the standard white which make me believe the fronts aren't original. Thanks for the kind comments, I might have it all back together ina week or so, depending on the engine, wish me luck..haha

I'm really wanting an old RER right about now. This is another great example of great work.
finally cleaned and painted the electrical cover, found a battery meter on ebay...and scored a "square" stand up bar instead of the 2 bars..took me forever to find one, now I need a seat and get the motor situated
Your build is coming together great. I bought two riding lawn mowers about 10 years ago, and I've decided to do some refinishing to one of them. Make sure you post the picture of your lawn mower when you've completed the project.
