Almost done!!! Ya'll are gonna find what I did to it kind of bizzare after seeing the finished product but it will be nice:) Here it is after mechanical and sheetmetal repair. I didn't do a full "restoration" per say like I would do on a vehicle. I bought this for utility and to work with so it's no show queen. The tractor is protected by a full coat of POR-15 which was let to dry till tack and dusted with an even coat of zinc based primer. The topcoat is a double layer of Halliburton chemical resistant/acid proof paint in Halliburton Red (compliments of work LOL!). POR-15 protects the entire tractor and is double coated on the deck, underside and inside of the final drives, and all bolt on items. I swear by POR-15, it is definitley a mirical worker in my hobby. I still have to do my front axle, rims, etc, but those are little things. Big thanks to Hugh McKay and everyone else for all of the help! Will post an update when it's finished!!!! First pic with little bubba on the new adition.
