I'm almost ready to paint the spreader now, after I go over it with a wire wheel tomorrow. (brought it to the car wash tonight) The paint I'm using is Sherman Williams direct to metal alkyd enamel, got a whole bunch of it(15 gallons burgundy, 5 off white) for free from work as it didn't all fit in the new fire cabinet after our OSHA inspection.
Sounds like the surface prep doesn't have to be extremely clean, so the wire wheel and wipe down w/ thinner should work. Need to get some Naptha as that's what's recomended for clean up. They say not to thin it, but we'll see how it comes out of the gun. At work they just roll or brush it on

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
