Oil Rub-Down Questions

[Rollerman 290]

Craig did you do that by hand or use a buffer?

It does look good. :handgestures-thumbup:

Maybe twenty minutes by hand, really...it still works, just like back in the day.

Craig-

That looks great and I agree that is what you should do with a tractor like yours with the "potential" to buff out. I would do the exact same thing however when you have a tractor (like some of mine) that has no opportunity to "bring back the shine" then I go with the oil. I do not claim to be a paint specialist but I have painted, wet sanded, buffed with high speed machine etc. Like I have said before "you can't polish a turd". I have a few turds but I like them that way....

It is a good feeling when you can wet sand and buff old paint back to look as good as that you did tho-

I think calling any of your tractors a turd is a little harsh, they are all nice originals.

Actually, mythbusters proved that you can!

Well guys, here's the link to the gem I picked up a Matt's last night

And I agree with Vince, your tractors are far from "turds" Steve. I would b proud to own any of yours :handgestures-thumbupright:
