Very nice. I hope it gets used, they are lonely if not pulling something in a field. The choice of paint would be mine as well, but I would have it mixed to be the not quite-gloss of the original. Not a complaint, the paint will take that tractor into the next 50 years. Jim

GREAT! So, when can I expect it to arrive here? :lol:
Why change the paint? No one remembers what the old paint looked like anyway. My goal is to make them better than new. There was a thread on the Red Power forum, saying that he was a judge at tractor shows and that he down graded shiny tractors. He got pretty well chewed out, no one agreed with him. If a person really wants to try to duplicate the old paint then he should use the old alkyd enamel, which by the way was automotive paint in its day. Then let it fade for a couple of years and it will be a dull off color. I use base-clear and am in no way related to the correct police. I have had several cars that had either alkyd enamel or acrylic lacquer on them. They had to be waxed every 3-6 months to resemble the new paint. New cars at that time looked old in a year. Urethane you don't have to wax, I like that.

Great looking tractor, but I wouldn't be chaining it using the front bolster. Not strong enough. Always better to chain it to the tractor frame in front.
