A trick for painting the gas tank is to clean it, scuff it, and then use the Krylon black paint for plastic. I have done my last two tanks with it and they look great...just an idea. :thumbs:

That is one beautiful tractor. I just have to ask. How long did it take?

thanks for looking guys,it took me since about middle of jan i started it,i did the motor myself except the bore,i didnt have much time latley,so it took 2 months,i will paint the gas tank,i did plan to do it,and now the weather is going to get better so i will do it,the color is bright,but the one behind her is darker and i like the brighter color over the dark,its just tremclad,sprayed with my critter sprayer,it works great for the money,i also did the floor boards in rocker undercoat spray,i did all of them because i think a little more bkack looks cool and they are totally protected and give good traction for only 10 bucks for a can,and you can paint it if u want
