I'm getting ready to paint my G tractor. I do not want to disassemble the tractor. Please let me know a good way to remove the grease and dirt prior to painting. The engine has been rebuilt and is primed and ready to go. The transmission area has some grime. After cleaning i plan on giving it a good sanding to remove the old paint layers. Thanks, Mark

Here is 70 pix that show how I went about it. There is about as many ways of getting them ready as there are people doing it.

Hey Dick L -
Thanks for the great pics. I now have my little G in the work shop prepping it for the teardown. Your pics were very motivational!!

How did you get that block so clean? Commercial job? End product looks GREAT!!
Thanks again

I missed the story about the Grand Haven tractor. Was that factory built or homemade?

The rear half of this tractor is a Grand Haven manufactured by the Grand Haven Tractor Company, which is sitll located in Grand Haven Michigan. Someone cut the frame of the Grand Haven off, welded a plate across the frame, and bolted the front of a G Allis to it.
I did not know anything about the Grand Haven part when I bought it at an auction. I found a picture of a Grand Haven on this site in the Tractor Photos section. I ran an add and found a good Grand Haven with a bad engine up by Grand Haven Michigan and bought it. I have not started on that project as of yet.
