SWEET! If you enjoy your Utility as much as I enjoy my Farmall 340D rowcrop, you have it made. Keep up the great work and you'll have that cub looking like the 340's little sister. Where 'bouts in MN are you?

first i tear down tractor part by part, i sandblast all hanging parts. i then remove/degrease engine, and scab or scale all cast. i try not to blast anything sensitive to exposure of media-its very hard on seals/gaskets, hydraulics ect..., all sheet metal is primed with sealer/ sanded and sealed again. i use a martin senour epoxy sealer non etching from napa that is made to go over base sealer this also contains a hardener so all sanding has to be final at this point of application. paint is 2-base 1 final of martin senour paint from napa store hardener added. (2 STEP) paint codes are obtained from data base provided to me from napa store. and color seems very close to ih red/white color match. ITS a expensive way to paint a tractor, but maybe it will pay off if the paint job still looks good years from now. I painted 2-ford tractors this same way a few years back, and they still have that freshly painted look, im not a expert painter, just have a passion to preserve the heritage of old iron! i can get paint #'S IF anyone likes, but please dont hold me responsible if product is not what you like all products were purchased from my local napa auto parts store. thanks, JIM P.S. This 340 utility took about 33 hours of prep to paint job. The project to completion (never 100% completed) took a total of about 127 hours. i need lots more wisdom in mechanics. only one way to learn--get dirty!!!! Jim

Jim,
If you run a landscaping/lawn care business, that is a good handy tractor. Now you need to convince you "partner" you need "another" one with a loader to help with the business.
Looks good.
Jim
