I am just beginning my restoration of my 1965 Landlord. I would be happy to share my notes with you if you would like. What specific questions do you have? Ryan

Well I wont get into any great detail but here is the general game plan that I have. Disassembly -- Take notes and lots of pictures for reference. I am keeping the parts together in sub-assembly form. ie. hydraulics, steering, pto, in seperate boxes. Recondition all parts -- replace if necessary. Steam clean and degrease. Prime with etching primer. Paint with urethane automotive paint -- color matched with simplicity orange. Re-assemble using new fastners. There really is not much to it. The main thing is to document what you are doing with good notes and pictures. Work on things one component at a time. Cleaning, fixing, priming, then painting. Just take it one part at a time and you will be fine. Its much less overwelming to do one part at a time. Take your time with it and most importantly have fun. If you get stuck... no worries, just post a question on here and you will get some great feedback. Good luck, Ryan
