| What brand and what type of paint did you use?
That VAC looks wonderfull , never looked nearly that good from the factory. But in those days we did not have the quality paint that we now have. So it is easier to get that nicer look. clint

| That tractor is "Purdy" purdy is several notches above being pretty.
I'm glad you didn't ruin the looks by putting an alternator on it.

| Did you wire wheel it or sandblast or just paint over the old paint?

| | Hi,casecollectorsc We sand blasted some of it,but hand wire brushed it and power wire brushed it. Everything on that tractor is oem except wiring which is made to fit a 1951 vac gen/cutout. We done this for the original owners. We do have alot of money in it. It was bought new by there father from there grandfathers dealership.
