I have a John Deere 730D that I would like to repaint. I think what paint is left on the tractor is probably factory original and it is pretty thin. I have the transmission torn apart now to replace worn out bearings, and would like input as to the best way to paint the tractor. Should I paint the parts that are off and then reassemble, or reassemble and then paint? Anyone know how John Deere originally painted these tractors? Also has anyone used John Deere paint? I bought a gallon of Classic green and they claim it can be sprayed or brushed on and can be applied over bare metal or old paint. Any input would be appreciated.

Depending on the time you have, What I would do, is paint as many of the parts off of the tractor as you can. Then put it together, and paint it again. That way you are not missing the cracks, hidden spots, the tough to get at spots etc, and you are applying more coats of paint and getting better coverage. I think Deere for the post part painted them mostly assembled. Back in the days of the Two-Cylinder show quality paint jobs werent a big concert at the factory, Ive seen some factory photos where the "John Deere" hood decals werent even in the same location on each side of the hood, one was way to the front, and one was centered. Hope this helps, its how I painted my tractor and im pleased with it

I don't have anything else to do, so I remove everything and paint separtely. If you don't have a lot of time, take off the easily removable items. Anything not on the tractor with space between the part and the engine block or chassis will not get paint on the either the back side of the part or on the tractor itself. It is also easier to get a uniform coat of paint, with less sags and runs, by maintaining the proper gun speed and distance from the surface. Hard to do if you have to paint over and around a lot of things. Also depends on how picky you are.

Hi I would paint in as big of peices that you can. I would only remove a few things, for example all sheet metal should be off, grille, hood, fenders and seat frame and also flywheel cover. Everthing else is pretty easy to paint as a whole unit. You may want to remove the 3pt assembly, it can prove to be easier to paint it seperate, as minimal scratching happens upon putting it back on. All of my advice is from experience from painting a JD 630 w/ a wide front and 3pt. Also it depends on the kind of results you want, and if you are spraying or brushing. Good Luck!! Brian

I'd paint as many things off the tractor as I could. The classic green is best use with a primer under it and sprayed. If you paint bare metal it is instant rust if you chip it later. You can use a hardener but be aware of the health risks with other postings without a breathing system.
