Well ATW, it might be easier to say what haven't I painted hehe. I've been doing this for about 9 years and have seen a vast selection of machines come through my shop. I've never painted a Farmall as incredible as that may seem but there are not very many of them in my area and the ones that are worth restoring, the owners usually do it themselves. I'm sure I'll see one come through the doors someday, I've also never painted an Oliver, Cockshutt or Moline. I do really want to do a Moline someday as some of these are some fantastically styled machines. Especially that spooky looking cab model they made.
My shop is just outside Fayetteville Arkansas and all restoration work in done in house. All heavy engine to tranny work is done before I get the machines as it doesn't make much sense to paint it then tear it apart for an engine rebuild. Leaks are the major bain of my existence lol and all of them have to fixed before I can proceed. Some of you may surprised but prep work takes about +90% of the time I spend on each machine. This lil Massey took me about 50 hours and I can tell you about 45 of those were just prepping the machine.
The vast majority of tractors I paint are Fords of all flavors. Second would be Massey's and third would be tied between Cases, Kubota's and JD's. Most of the machines I see are early 70's up to late models.
I am working on a web page now to share my pics with ya'll and may even work up a step by step tutorial on how to paint your tractor and get great results every time.
Have a great week all and keep em rollin!
