Wow,just what I am looking to do for my 70's Hardee T 52 LT rotary cutter.(See post I posted yesterday in Implements forum). Newbie on site. Talking about decals,do any of you know a company that can duplicate a decal from a picture out of a manual ? So much info makes my old brain hurt!!! Any help appreciated on pictures or contact info about duplicating decal. Don't know how to post pictures here or would have a picture up. Thanks in advance.

Any poster shop can make decals from a picture. I don't understand the process but have had it done and it appeared to be easy. It seems that online pictures are clearer and easier to work with. Someone made decals for me out of an old online advertisement poster.

Posting pictures is only difficult for the first one. Just put your camera card in the computer, click on "insert image" from the icon choices in the post and try to figure it out. Ask if it doesn't work. We definitely need pictures of your efforts.

Here's a two row Deere 71 "flexi planter" I bought pretty cheap. The prior fellow converted it to plant pumpkins so some of the corn planter parts are missing. Plus it sat outside in Ohio for 10 years or so. I dragged it home, assessed the situation and things look pretty good.

I need new seed drop parts, need to clean it up and paint it. The parts are maybe $80 if I buy new plus I'll need a quart of paint. I also have to bondo a couple places on the seed containers. I have a new super duty pressure washer that I bet will blow most of the rust off so I'll just need to spray it green with yellow wheels. I'll spray oil on everything that moves and it will plant corn for the next 60 years. These things will never go out of style and command a pretty penny at auctions.

I have several old implements that are still usable. Each one can operate as designed, some still need some work to be best they can. I will eventually repair all to excellent working condition, maybe not best looking but usable.

Nice looking Farmall. You sure are a busy guy.

Lots of potential in that equipment.

Woo Hoo, got a local graphics company to do my decals from a 1980's Hardee Dealer catalog that I got off of eBay haven't made the decals yet but have the Hardee Tiger artwork on my phone. The guy really did a good job ,still have 4 more of the decals to make from pictures off of the bush hog ,and an appointment with him next week to keep on making them. So far spent 100$, but am extremely happy. As a kid I used to lay by the bush hog and look at the Tiger head emblem,paint already picked up,going to have to cut some of the bolts to get it apart ,deer season is here so progress is slow,would like to post pics but way over my computer/cell phone skill level. Good luck to all on your projects
