10-20s were a shade of dark charcoal. there are other colors in the mix and when it is dry it looks like there may be a little blue in it. I opted not to use hardener, as it makes the paint so hard it is easy to chip if you bump something like a wrench into something or drop the gas cap by accident, plus it ended up saving me $90 for a can of that stuff. I used dark grey primer so if something does get scratched, it won't show as bad. I used DuPont Centari and brush painted all the cast iron. Wow! Does it look good!!!! I think it may be better than a spray job on cast which is more than half the tractor! A VERY high quality brush is the key and go over it with only one coat!If you use a cheap brush, you might as well use a broom. As far as the sheet metal go, better spray that. The DuPont tech line has no answers for brushing centari, and when I did it brush it , it was obvious it was going to need retarder to slow the skin time for painting the sheet metal. try a little of the color paint you got , let it dry and take it outside into the sun and see how it looks. Floresent lights can really be decieving. The color I used I don't have written down here and the paint can is in storage about 2 hours from where I live, but if you need me to get the number for you let me know. The number paint I used is right on the money. I matched it off a real nice original.If you want to see a good photo of the color let me know and I will send you one.

He had over a period of months spent a fair amount of his hard earned cash on replacement parts for the old "trembler" ignition. Sadly though all his efforts seemed to be a waste of time and money as he still couldn''t get the temperamental old thing to run correctly!! If i said that this was a little frustrating for him that would be "conservative" in fact the problem had reduce
