Pics of my freshly painted M and C.

kennell · Aug 9, 2012

I got my M back on rubber today, and the C yesterday.. I'm just waiting for my friend to hammer the dents out of the sheet metal and they'll look like tractors again.I also need to get a fuel line figured out for the C. I didn't like the rubber hose much.Later Kent

Those freshly painted tractors certainly do look nice and bright. The addition of the sheet metal will really set them off once it's back on.
I had the same issue on the fuel line to deal with with when I restored my Super C. I got a reproduction fuel line from Pilot Knob Restorations at a Red Power Round-Up which fit perfectly. They are located in Illinois and if you desire contact information my email is open, Hal.

Another option aside from Hal's recommendation on the fuel line - about 12 years ago I purchased some line from the auto parts (Orielly I think) that was easily bent and looks identical for the most part to the factory line it replaced. I wish I could recall the size and knew a length I put on my C, but I cannot recall. I think the line is actually meant to be used as brake line, but works just fine as fuel line, and bends to fit easily.

Nice job! I especially like the M!

Thanks guys for the fuel line info. I'll keep you informed. Kent

OEM Tractor Parts has premade lines. IMO they are worth it. Most are around $30.

I see the C has no hydraulics. Did it come that way or are you going to enter it in tractor pulls?

I think you need more practice. You can practice painting on my Indy Raceway M. Super job!!

they are 1/4" pipe thread ends to the line. I would assume 1/4" line then? i have used the brake line as well but my dad had purchased it and it was on the shelf.

It originally had hydraulics, but the tank was missing when i purchased it. I removed the pump.I really don't need hydraulics so it won;t be added.I pull it in a 3250 lb antique tractor pull at our local fair. kent

I love my M also. They are a really cool old tractor, with awesome power and traction. Kent

I agree with The Red. you do need more practice. I have an H & a W400 diesel that could use your TLC.

Your paint jobs look fine, but they would be better if you didn't paint the rear axles red, they should be flat black or just cleaned and clear coated.
