Well I have been reading post after post for about 6 months and have never posted yet so,I figured I would say hello and see if I can get a picture or two to post,I have many projects going on Simplicity 2010,2 Sovergein 18's,and a little 515 simplicity,some other brands MF 8,and cub cadet 1250,some are restored to use some are going to be restored for show,hard to find time with my work I work for Rubbermaid and am on 12 hour shifts so I get to mess around with these mowers some but not all the time,lets see if this works.

Well,I will have to say the seat cover is origianl to the serf it does have a tear in it you can see on the right hand side pic,while I was painting it,I srayed armour all on it pretty much everyday and let it soke to tray and loosing it up it was reall hard and I was afraid to sit in it when I first got it thought I might tear the stiching,but it turned out real soft now and I would hate to have one made but if you want original,that would be the only way to do it,unless you just wait it out for one to show up on ebay or something,only problem is you might have to wait foreveras far as paint color goes I have a 3112v also my uncle bought it new and it was imaculate when I got it 10 years ago,so I took the hood and used the underside at a local paint supplier and we color matched the paint there is no number we just added the different colors until it was a spot on match,I cant stand when colors on equipment aren't right so we tried 4 times before we hit it right,it may take me some time but I can probably get the amounts of each color and what the are to mix a gallon,if the paint under the hood of the 3112v was not in excellent shape I dont know what I would have done |

Curious, what did you use for paint on the 515? It looks very nice, the colors look very close match to the original color.

I'd love to know where you got the seat cover for the Serf as well. Looks real sharp, and I'm in need of one just like it  |

Very nice...thanks for sharing!! That Serf is super sharp. I can't find one here to save my life. The 2010 is a beauty and it's great you have one that's been in the family that long. Keep us posted on your progress =] |

Nice looking lineup! That Serf is looking like a new one again, very detailed. Nice looking large frames too. |

Brad, welcome to the site. You truly have a fine looking round top there. Are you going to go with 4 or 6.5 inch front wheels? |
