I think Jack is correct apout it holding paint. If anything the fire would have burned out the oils in the castings. Would make the paint hold better if anything.

HOWEVER if the fire amounted to anything holding paint will be the absolute least of your worries. Usually fires will mess up most of the parts. Castings and sheet metal will warp causing things to not fit. Seal surfaces will loose their finish and tear seals up. Aluminum and pot metal castings will be destroyed etc.

How bad was the fire and what model of tractor. If the fire was bad enough to burn the tires off and burn out the fluids I would junk it unless it is in the ultra rare category or has sentimental value.

That is a ridiculous myth. When the steel was originaly made it was molten hot and the tractor held paint when it was built. If you properly prep the metal before painting by sand blasting or sanding down to bare metal then painting with a good etching primer your paint will stick just fine. Those who say it wont hold paint have probably tried painting unprepped, ash covered metal with a Walmart spray bomb and came up with their ill advised conclusion.
