This is my International Harvester Farmall tribute bike. It's a Worksman bike built in Queens NY according to the serial number. It took me about two months to complete this project, but finally finished it today. The tank was custom made using CRS. I reinforced the monark forks by rewelding it. The bike was sand-blasted and refinished using exact color International Harvester red. Then, I used chemicals to create a nice patina and weathered finish. Enjoy!!! dance1

I never thought that I would see a two wheeled corn binder.
You have done an outstanding job!!! That bike is absolutely awesome!
If it had pigeon poo on it I would almost think it was an original barn find.

Yes, it's a work of art, I dig the expansion chamber with that wicked skinny stinger! Nice job on the air cleaner mesh and all the other finishing touches, not too mention the paint that just sets it off! A true relic.

biscotch, That is really some bike. I have been considering doing an aged paint job on my current project. I have aged metal and done weathered painting of wood for many years, but your bike is perfectly done. Like someone said earlier the only thing missing is the bird poop!. Well Done! Dan

That bike ran very good on the last ride! The exhaust note was perfect, just like the rest of the bike. I've got to get your boy to make me a pipe...
