cleat 6,737 #26 Posted August 27, 2018 Rear wheels are now mounted. All that is left is the rear fender painting and taillights, then install a new seat lift support and this machine is done. Cleat 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 6,737 #27 Posted September 16, 2018 Well, I got the fender stripped of paint as it had many layers of flaking terrible paint. I used chemical stripping for this. Then it got wire wheeled and sanded/ Then the bottom got a couple of coats of high temp black (I like that paint for durability). Then the topside got a coat pf primer that was sanded then a coat of IH red. I will sand that and apply a second coat whenever this darn humidity clears and the paint will dry properly.

cleat 6,737 #28 Posted September 16, 2018 The paint felt dry enough so I sanded it and applied a top coat. It is much smoother ans shinier now. Fender is just sitting on a 416, not the 520. I have new tail lights from TSC to install once paint is dry. Also decal from Terry will finish it off. Cleat 1 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lane Ranger 11,036 #34 Posted September 20, 2018 Cleat: what is the product number on those TSC. Lights? I do not recall seeing those in our local store! They look great on your tractor! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
cleat 6,737 #35 Posted September 20, 2018 This is the light. https://www.tscstores.com/RED-WITH-REFLECTOR-CLEARANCE-LIGHT-P137.aspx It is made by perterson. Better yet, they were 25% off last weekend just when I wanted to buy them. This is at TSC Canada, yours might be different. Cleat 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lane Ranger 11,036 #36 Posted September 20, 2018 Yes I have been to tsc in Canada ( about seven years ago when I picked up a 1964. Wheel Horse 1054 in Milton. Near Toronto). They are more like co-ops inCanada. But stuff in store was similar and spread out like here. I needed a tarp to put over tractor and attachments! I recalli paid $600 for it even then.
