One More Project Done

Pulled my chipper into the shop a few weeks ago for a lot of little stuff (well some not so little) and the girlfriend talked me into painting it. I knew I shouldn't let her out there! Was starting to look a little rough, not real professional looking I suppose.

Didn't come out quite as nice as I would have liked. Was a little windy the day I put the color on (outside cause I didn't want everything in the shop orange) and it has a few dry spots and a little "texture" from the driveway here and there. But all in all it looks a lot better. Paint is TSC Kubota orange, thats how I figure I could post on the tractor forum.

Before pic is a couple years old. I always forget to take before pictures until I've got something half torn apart. I actually thought the Kubota orange would be pretty close match, but looking at the before pic I guess not. Oh well.

Only problem now is I really hate to park it back outside.

Jeff,

What kind of chipper is that? I bought an old Woodchuck with an inline Ford 300, works pretty good. Mine also needs paint. I like the ball-and-pintle hook up, it makes for fun driving around town- bam-bam-bam!

It's a Woodchuck, late 70's vintage. 361 Ford V8 with an Allison torque coverter. Best running Ford I've ever had. It still has the original plug wires with 1976 printed on them. It'll chip about as fast as 2 guys can feed it. Likes the gas too.
