Chris G 3,296 #1 Posted October 13, 2017 I had a thread going in the tractors section called 701 black horse. Well I got it in early september. All was original except the fenders and the stop bracket for the lift arm. Well thanks to a fellow member I got the fenders and had the rest of the parts needed. I still have to install the fender brace and the dash plate. But after going through the engine and replacing what was needed. That followed with a days worth of straighten sheet metal and several days of paint stripping. The look it obtained grew on me. So everything got wet sanded and clear coated. It got all new fluids and everything that was needed mechanicaly. So overall this tractor had been previously painted 6 times and 7 time in some spots. This tractor has become one of my favorites and i will be snowblowing with it this winter. But most importantly here's the pics! There's some before and after. I'll post some more when the snowblower is put on. 9 3 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ohiofarmer 3,280 #5 Posted October 14, 2017 (edited) I like it as well. Here is an old 1075 seat pan that needs help,sitting on the trash can---just something to practice on.The second picture is satin finish, and the third is wet sanded with 2000 grit and then buffed.. The beat up 1075 pan is sitting on top of a nice c-i41 pan. I did the hood on the c 141, and did it ever POP. The c is gonna look good eventually Satin 2x Rustoleum is very easy to work with. It dries fast and is resistant to runs. Matte 2x is even easier and you can build several coats and sand them in as a base for the final coats which can be satin or even gloss. The gloss is not easy to do, but wet sanding with 2000 grit and then buffing satin will get it close to gloss. The second picture shows what can happen in a day, including dry times, rust treatment and all Edited October 14, 2017 by ohiofarmer 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
