Specifically, I have a small garden tractor Allis Chalmers B1 with an id plate on the briggs and stratton engine. Someone painted over all of the original paint on everything. I took some laquer and got the id plate pretty close to original, without removing the original wording and everything on the plate. Now I have a choice of just leaving it alone (tape it off) when I repaint everything. Or Option 2 is taking enamel clear cote, and try and clear cote over it. What are some opinions on best ways to "preserve" any original tags when "restoring" a tractor? It's getting new paint, Overhauled engine and some new oil seals and such in the transmission. *** As a side note... Nice thing about lawn tractors, Not as much components as my allis chalmers "C" when I restored that. My piggy bank isn't going to be as empty on this one. ha ha ha. Thanks everyone!
