Ive been watching this but I must have missed some where did you get it unstuck?How did you unstick it? Get a cheap paint gun,one of them ones that has the reservoir on top.HVLP I think they call it.Read instructions and paint something else besides your tractor first.You need to clean the gun up every time you use it.Paint wont stick to rust.Mask whatever you dont want paint on.why did you brush paint it?Live and learn I guess.The cleaner you can get it the better.Grind your brush mess off with a wire wheel.When you get it clean wipe it off with degreaser or solvent or whatever they say to use with the paint you have,then you paint a thin coat after you have mixed the paint with the right thinner to the right consistency,then you let it set a few minutes until it gets tacky,hit with another thin coat,wait,hit with another thin coat,by then should be covered good,the 4th time look for places that you think you can see through the paint or light spots.Paints not cheap even if you buy it at TSC or an auto parts store by the time you get all the stuff you need.You might get a gallon of automotive type paint for 150 dollars maybe 120 in a kit that includes reducer and hardener and other stuff,filters stir stiks,mixing containers,see if they will throw some sandpaper in too.If you get it from TSC or a place like that you can get a gallon for about 30 dollars,but you still need lacquer thinner to clean the gun,masking tape,reducer,so its probly over 50 bucks and thats probly not enough.The TSC paint is only going to last a few years and it will fade.You dont want any paint on the inside of your motor where it could flake off and plug a oil gallery. You might want to watch somebody paint something or go to a library or look it up on the internet,how to paint a car.Maybe how to paint a car,Car Craft magazine or Hot Rod magazine and see if it comes up.

Today's Featured Article - Listening to Your Tractor - by Curtis Von Fange. Years ago there was a TV show about a talking car. Unless you are from another planet, physically or otherwise, I don’t think our internal combustion buddies will talk and tell us their problems. But, on the other hand, there is a secret language that our mechanical companions readily do speak. It is an interesting form of communication that involves all the senses of the listener. In this series we are going to investigate and learn the basic rudimentary skills of understanding this lingo.
