First thing remove all sheet metal then pressure wash the entire tractor. If you can rent a steam cleaner around my place they rent for about a $100 a day it’s worth it. Go to a dollar general or something like that and buy you about 10-12 cans of oven cleaner spray it down really good with that let it set over night pressure wash again repeat again. The oven cleaner will degrease amd loosen up a lot of the paint and it’s cheap. Take as much off the tractor as possible the more you remove the more you can have sandblasted the H I did I tore all the way down cost me about $350 for sandblasting worth every penny. What you don’t take to sandblasted use a side grinder with a knotted wire brush. What’s not sandblasted wash with a dawn 2-3 times to remove any grease and oil residue make sure to dry it to prevent rust. Prime with a good epoxy primer. Now the epoxy primer needs to be top coated with in 72 hrs of spraying it either with paint or a 2k sandable primer. If you want a show finish use a acrylic enamel with hardener it will have a nice shine. I use ppg Omni or shopline products very forgiving and looks really good. Also wipe everything down between primer and topcoat or primer and primer applications with a grease and wax remover make sure there’s no dust or anything. Also the most important part take a lot of pics of the teardown amd bag and label all bolts so you can have a reference and know what bolts are to be used to reassemble.

Today's Featured Article - Earthmaster Project Progress Just a little update on my Earthmaster......it's back from the dead! I pulled the head, and soaked the stuck valves with mystery oil overnight, re-installed the head, and bingo, the compression returned. But alas, my carb foiled me again, it would fire a second then flood out. After numerous dead ends for a replacement carb, I went to work fixing mine.I soldered new floats on the float arm, they came from an old motorcycle carb, replaced the packing on the throttle shaft with o-rings, cut new ga
