I started a restoration project about 4 months ago on a 44 john deere A. This tractor was missing quite a few parts so my main concern was going thru everything and getting it running. Painting the tractor while I had it broke down kind of slipped my mind. Mind you this is my first restoration project ever. Long story short I have a lot of the tractor put back together and I'm not willing at this point to break it back down. And I know sand blasting a running tractor is a bad idea. Was wondering what people think about painting the hard to reach places as I go and maybe hitting the entire tractor with a good primer over top of old paint after it's done and painting it from there? There isn't a whole lot of paint on the tractor anyway and the little it does have isn't flaking or anything
