What primer are you using?? That looks like a great foundation for the PG #2 you mentioned... Maybe I missed a post, but how did you do most of the heavy cleaning?? Some of those early pics looked like you had your work cut out for you! Howard [Reply]   [No Email]

We started this utn in May and its been scary,very dirty and seems every part needs attention. With parts hard to come by. As to your question of how we clean I have a 2800 lbs @180 degree hot water pressure washer, and a putty knife,solvent and a brush. then the blaster and prime with valspar industrial primer. Thank You for the comments and Yes I hope to be proud and also to do justice to Prarie Gold collecters and a 1952 UTN keeping Her from the scrappers for a long while. Tony [Reply]  [No Email]

The wonderful people I meet by phone and on THIS Y.T. BOARD, who help me solve problems Makes me realize how lucky I am to enjoy old tractors. Tony [Reply]  [No Email]
