Yup. The perfect end to a perfect Sunday, I curbed a wheel at Wawa.
I'd like to try to fix it myself like I've seen on the interwebz. Does anyone know for sure if Sport Classic II rims are clear powdercoated? I can't tell.
It happens to all of us. I haven't done it to the pcar yet, but I've done it before and it always makes me wince, like someone cut off a digit.
Good luck.
I know, right? The whole story sucks even more. I was mowing my fields in Pennsylvania and drove the tractor into a ground hog hole. It caught me by surprise and pinched a nerve in my neck. When I was all done mowing, I went to Wawa to get a soda for the ride back to Maryland. I was backing into an end spot so I wouldn't get hit with a door, but I couldn't turn around to back up because of my neck. Apparently I suck at backing using my mirrors.
So...does anybody know if these wheels are powdercoated?
Wait...you guys don't have Wawa???
Sorry. Can't help you on the Powder coat question.
I live in Texas. Do you really think anything named Wawa would have a chance here?
On the plus side, you have a tractor, so that gives you some cred for a yankee.
BTW. hope you neck feels better. I manage to pinch a nerve in my neck about twice a year or so and it really sucks. I find Advil and red wine help a lot though.
Yeah it's a '38 John Deere Model B. My Dad learned to drive on it when he was eight. I thought it would be cool to restore it and use it. It'll beat your friggin' brains in after a few hours of work.
Cool tractor
My pop lives in the city but always wanted an "A" JD so he bought one and pots around town and an occational parade in it. Kids love to go with him on it
Having a lot of fun at work talking about Wawa. The guy in the. Next cube was born a mile from Wawa headquarters and has never heard of them, lots of good water cooler talk today - thanks!
Sorry to hear about your incident. To answer your question about the clear coat, if they are similar to the "Sport Design" wheels the machined lip is clear coated. I'm not sure if it's a powdercoat finish or not. I did have one of mine refinished, and it was about $125 to have the rim straightened, re-machined and clear coated here in Toronto.
never heard of Wawa either out West. We do have have Fatburger though. As far as your wheels go, My standard Porsche Boxster twists are clearcoated over paint.
WaWa is only in the Pennsylvania/Maryland region - but they are expanding a bit to the Raleigh area in North Carolina.
I still go there when I visit the inlaws but they're not nationwide by any means.
As for curbing the wheel. I did the same thing a few weeks ago pulling into my parking garage at work. Now I take a really WIDE turn to get in!
Tastycake FTW!
OK, so I'm going to attempt to repair the rim myself.
If
I can locate my camera (which may or may not have been stolen out of my work car at a parking garage) I'll document it...and that's
if
it comes out well. If not, I'll tell you where I got it fixed and how much. Thanks for all the responses.
Pats or Genos? That's the real question...
I have a desk...I spend about a 1/3 of my time programming CNC machines and its nice to be out of the shop for that...plus it gives me a place to hang Porsche pictures, models and some family junk
They have Piggly Wiggly in South Carolina too. I remember stopping at one on the way to Myrtle Beach to buy some batteries and bread. Not what I would call an upscale supermarket.
Deeres suck, International is where it's at.
j/k
I only know about them because my ex gf's father was a diehard International fan and had about 20 fully restored tractors in his warehouse. He was always talking smack about the Deere's.
How bad is the damage? Maybe you can get by with one of these?
WOW.. I have redone 3 sears tractors for customers.. Here's a motor. You did Great. Tough tough work... I'm not doing it again, unless for a Friend for Free!! Nice Trac!
Good News / Bad News on Wheels. I have redone 10 Million S/Bike Wheels. There is a Coating on some... but when you try to fix one... eeehhh.. sometimes better to polish the rim ring on all 4 , so they be da same, wear the same, etc.!! Where are U located? Happy to help or do em!!! PICS would help! But shipping costs??? Hummm. Not looking to make a penny. PM me if you want to discuss the specifics of doing it!. I have a few ideas.
Thanks. I'm definitely going to try it myself. The rash isn't really bad. The problem is that the SCII wheels don't have a lip, they have a face - if that makes sense. I have to blend the damage into the face as opposed to just smooting and polishing the lip.
I was going to get cracking on it yesterday, but I'm remodeling the garage and I never got to the car.
