At that time, no one was open on Sat. afternoon. Looked all over for the IH and Deere dealers, but no one was home. So...I found some Linseed oil in the shop. Knew Dad used it to thin paint painting lumber, so why wouldn't it work? Painted the tractor anyway using the linseed oil as thinner. Got the most beautiful glossy finish! Unfortunately, wouldn't dry, and wrinkled where it did. Spent the next two weeks removing new paint to do over. Lesson learned!
