If its your first tractor paint job then for sure use the paint from your local JD dealer. It will be the correct match and is easy to use. I've painted several things over the years on the farm. The first tractor tear down and paint I did was a 1966 MF super 90 and man was it in rough shape when I started!!! I pressure washed.... degreased... presure washed and washed with varsol and so forth till I got it clean. It was terrible but it came out pretty good. Sheet metal I just sanded by hand, no sandblasting. I used MF paint from the dealer for the engine, pannels and rims. That loader was called robin so at the time I went to my local auto store and bought a quart of automotive paint that was a close match. I don't even remember what kind of paint it was anymore it likely was an acrylic enamel paint with out hardner. It sprayed on real nice I recall and I had just a mickey mouse spray gun at the time. That tractor I sold right after I painted it. I did a Case 970 paint job and that was a lot of work too. Its a working tractor and gets used on the farm still. Looks ok but I see lots of flaws in my paint job up closer!

Today's Featured Article - It Can't Be Done! - A Tractor Story - by Neil Campbell. I'll never forget the time back when I was a boy baling hay on our Farm in Big Rapid, Michigan. The most memorable event that took place was a trip up the steepest incline on the farm pulling an old New-Idea baler with a pony-motor for power and a haywagon. I had just talked my Dad into buying an old John Deere B with 6-speeds ahead and I was real proud of it, except it was a little smaller than the Case tractor that we normally ... [Read Article]
