Popular Post Superdog Posted June 30, 2014 Popular Post Share Posted June 30, 2014 Just got the carb for my AB back from getting rebuilt.The guy did a really amazing job considering what I sent him,wish I would have taken a before pic. It was in several pieces,all moving parts were frozen,and had a few missing parts,but it was all I had to work with since the one on the AB was MIA when I bought it. 5 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36193-too-pretty-to-use/ Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gmerrill0516 Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 That looks like new. I'd find a rougher looking one to use and leave it in the box. Clearly too nice to use....My father just had the carb for his John Deere GP (1935) redone. It wasn't as rough as this one was but it looks beautiful now. Those guys do great work.

Mike Posted June 30, 2014 Share Posted June 30, 2014 Don't believe I would use it. It would look better in the original box. It would probably get a good price for it. I bet someone on this site could use it.mike Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36193-too-pretty-to-use/#findComment-251115 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Those guys do great work.Funnyyou should mention a GP,that's what this guy uses to test the carbs he rebuilds.He has made adapter plates for just about any kind of carb you can imagine. 1 Quote Link to comment https://www.bigmacktrucks.com/topic/36193-too-pretty-to-use/#findComment-251142 Share on other sites More sharing options...

ranchhopper Posted March 2, 2015 Share Posted March 2, 2015 I had the carbs rebuilt from my 2N tractor and 49 CJ3A jeep came back looking just like that its amazing what people that are professionals who do that for a living can restore something like new.
