So I will at some point in the next few months will be painting my John Deere 60 and would like some tips.
To give an overview, my tractor is a tractor in that will be used for work although not heavily, just for plowing a small garden that at most is an acre and haycutting a larger area on occasion thus I have no actual plans of using automotive paint over regular paint given the cost involved, at most the tractor would be used or shown in small parades or small events and that's that. Because of that my plan is to just buy two or so cans of Classic JD Green paint and use a type of good primer with it.
My main question however to those who have experience painting two-cylinder Deere's or just tractors in general are there any hurdles to avoid and what type of primer is best used? How many coats of primer and paint should be applied?
Note: I have already painted the clutch pulley in advance of everything while we had it off the tractor using JD Official Classic Green Spray Paint and using Tractor Supply Magic Red Oxide Primer as a measure against the clutch freezing again after our full clutch rebuild of it.
