I've always been fearful of doing a paint job. As it stands, yeah its rusty, about 3/4 of the paint is still there, alot covered in grease and oil protecting her metal. If I stripped it all off and repainted it, and the paint started falling off I'd just sell the damn thing. I know prep is the most important, but I just dont trust myself when it comes to paint. I think alot of it is my inexperience with quality paints. Being disappointed from cheap rattle cans even with the best prep leads to disappointment. My friend does ALOT of painting for autos, motos, and so on, uses PPG and House of Kolor, and paints that are over $100 per QUART!!, and he can do a real good job, but I dont think he'd be keen to having a tractor in his shop, if you wanna call it that. He thinks tractors are stupid because they aren't really artisitc when it comes to paint... This is the only tractor that he has said has potential... ![third party image](http://i43.photobucket.com/albums/e364/Necrobater/MVC-004F-4.jpg)
I personally thin its ugly and an abomination. When we saw this, I didnt own a tractor, nor gave much thought about them. Now That I have one, I'm in love and cant wait til this summers tractor/steam shows!! Problem is, Who to go with, none of my friends share the same passion, as I'm only 26, besides having few friends =P. Maybe I'll take mom, she likes to get out, god I'm a loser =P Anyways, enough thread hijacking, that tractor is looking good!!! Hoping my clutch holds up this summer, then maybe next winter I'll split her.

Most judgements on what should be purchased rather than fabricated stem from: Originality - If the tractor restoration is to be 100% original, it is likely that you should spend the time and money to locate the component in the used or New-old-stock market.
