It looks GREAT! That's it....... you guys are making me too jealous. I'm going to take a break from fabricating implements and using mine, and do some cosmetic work.

That looks great!!! What kinda paint did you use?I have been in a month long decision about paint and have not done anything with mine.I want to use auto enamel with a hardener but am having trouble putting that kind of money into a working tractor....but I dont want to spend half the money and all the work and not be happy either.

Kevin, I used Ace Hardware's Farm and Implement Paint, Allis Chalmers Orange. It's as close to a dead on match as I have ever used. One warning: It is very thin and runny so you have to be careful and use several coats. it also has a very long drying time.

Wow, what a beauty!!! Nice to see someone put the time and effort into a tractor that'll probably be around longer than its owner. Good luck with it!

Bunky, I used spray cans for the paint- check out my post to Mowerman1193 for the details. The decals are the originals- I couldn't find replacements, the old ones were in good shape so I taped over them. Glad you and everyone else likes it!

Wow! I hope I can get my 2012 looking like that someday. Is it all pretty much origional, or do you have any modifications? I changed my ignition switch from the B&S key and hand soleniod to just an indak key switch like all the rest of them a few years ago for the convenience and simplicity of just one switch, but lately I've been wanting to change it back for nastalgia!

The tractor was all original when I got it. The original owner was up in his 80's and traded it in to Jeff Nemes when the trans belt went. All he did was mow about 3/4 acre with it and he used the vac system with the cart for it. As a result, it had a very easy life, which made it easier on me too. Basically go over the mechanics, tear down and paint.Thanx for the compliments!

      Site programming updates were made 3/23/2024. As a result some things have changed including dues payment options. We will continue maintenance and work with technicians to regain credit card payment option and clear up minor challenges. On positive it appears attaching pictures is now easier. Good day. Gene
