One thing I cannot answer for myself is how do you guys prevent the new paint from lifting were a gasket had seeped some oil over the years? It seems to me that no matter what you do short of replacing the gasket there is no cleaner that will remove all of the oil.

Secondly, are there any videos posted anywhere showing someone actually painting their tractor? I cant comprehend how the paint is applied on parts that have others in front of them (injector fuel lines etc.) and the paint comes out even even on the blind surfaces.

Third, when painting parts that have hinged access doors how do you apply the paint so the paint doesnt crack the first time you open the door?

There is a product available from the body shop supply houses that removes all contaminants prior to painting. One trade name is 'Prepsol" marketed by DuPont. Then tack rag it for dusty stuf, and then paint.

to prevent lifting from a contamination, the contamination has to be removed. if there is a leaky gasket, its got to be changed, no way you will get paint to stick. for the detail work painting, ie injector lines ect, it all has to come apart, either be painted off the unit, or edged out off the unit (blind parts are painted first) then assembled and final refinishing done. for painting something like a hinge, the paint cannot bridge between the two moving parts, it either needs to be masked off or the hinge pin removed and painted as two pieces. painting is a heck of a lot of work if you want it to look good.

You will probably have to remove any oil-soaked paint, down to bare metal, wash it with soap and water, sand and feather-edge any paint edges, treat with a metal prep solution, allow to dry, then prime and sand, wash with Prep-sol cleaner,and paint it. If this process is all "greek" to you--better leave the painting to the experts! Refinishing of cars, trucks, tractors, etc. is not done easily, and can hardly be explained here, in laymans terms! And probably will not last, as there are no short-cuts!
