Good morning American's, it's Friday!


A delivery brought me a jewel bulb, dash and valve cover cap head bolts and a grille screen for my Farmall 340. I know Farmallhal ordered stuph :lol: from Pilot Knob Restoration, where this delivery originated from. My ? would there be specific prep before I spray can the IH 'cream on my screen? The five square per inch looks cool. Enjoy your day folks!
 
When I restored my 240 we just painted everything, the screen and grille, with epoxy primer before the white/cream paint and it has held up nicely. I think the painter also cleaned any residual oily substance off the screen before it was primed with some sort of cleaning agent, Hal.
 
Wax and grease remover. Pilot knob restoration is a cool place on the bluffs above the Mississippi river south of Galena Illinois, would of been a nice road trip this time of the year to pick up your parts in person. Just a few miles up river from the ski lodge.
