I agree with SuperA on all the steps to painting your tractor, but I want to add some more steps before you assemble any of the parts. CarQwest has a good spray on cleaner called Purple Cleaner that does a real good job of final clean up. After all the parts are as clean as you can get them, wipe them down with a lint free rag wet with an enamel reducer to prep the metal. Then use a good grade of non sanding(not Rustolium) primer on the cast parts and a sanding primer on the sheet metal parts that you can get in a spray can. When the primer is dry on the sheet metal, sand with very fine sand paper to smooth out the primer. Then get some cans of the color you want and paint the parts with that. Now you can assemble most of the parts except the sheet metal. Pressure wash and spray with Purple Cleaner again to wash assm. oil and grease off and wipe with the enamel reducer again. Either paint again with cans or a spray gun and mix a hardener with the paint. Painting the parts before assm. you get paint in places where you can't with the parts together and a second coat of color makes it look that much better and the bolts and nuts get some paint on them too. Cleaning, metal prep, and sanding the sheet metal are the most important steps to a good paint job that sticks to the metal for years to come. Good luck RichH

Today's Featured Article - Choosin, Mounting and Using a Bush Hog Type Mower - by Francis Robinson. Looking around at my new neighbors, most of whom are city raised and have recently acquired their first mini-farms of five to fifteen acres and also from reading questions ask at various discussion sites on the web it is frighteningly apparent that a great many guys (and a few gals) are learning by trial and error and mostly error how to use a very dangerous piece of farm equipment. It is also very apparent that these folks are getting a lot of very poor and often very dangerous advice fro ... [Read Article]
