bmsgaffer 2,046 #2 Posted November 9, 2015 (edited) If you feel like you have received $30 worth of help form the members of this fine forum, you can become a supporter and then all your picture problems will go away! (Non-supporters are limited because storage space and bandwidth on servers costs $$$ and pictures use a lot!) I cant wait to see the pictures of your restoration!

AlwaysLookin80 1,308 #15 Posted November 9, 2015 It's international red enamel and the wheels and seat are antique white. Rustoleum specialty farm equipment enamel is the name and they make all different tractor colors, it's great and comes out beautiful. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

AlwaysLookin80 1,308 #18 Posted November 9, 2015 I work 3 to 11s, new ag tires and 3 rib fronts should be here today via ups. If they get here before I leave I'll post them up, once they get here and I pick up the tubes I'll start assembly and post pics as I go. Thanks for the info fellas. I'll try to correct the posting.
