Man, I'd encourage you to try it yourself first. Scrape, grind, remove rust, hit it with some paint-can primer and some paint-can spray paint, hold the can about 8" away and move it. Warm and calm day, you might be surprised. Can't hurt anything, nohting to lose.

me too, if i can do it you can do it, i painted my jubilee 2 years ago, i did the work myself during the winter and if i remember the cash outlay was a little over a hundred bucks, now since this is a daily working tractor she's dirty and got some grease here and there, but its still a nice looking machine when it gets a bath, if you can find a shop actually willing to take on a tractor, which is a labor intensive thing, prepare to pay somewhere between 3 and 5 thousand for body work and paint,dents in the fenders ect are not nearly as easy to work as modern flimsey cars, most shops will run you off with a broom, if you even say the word tractor.if you can find a retired guy who can do the work and is willing it may be less, but good luck with that, and even he is going to want to be paid for his skill and labor, its not hard, just time consuming, you can do it yourself, and if you hit a snag, there are plenty of nice people here and on the ford and the 928n board to help you out of it

I spent a long time, cleaning, removing wheels, removing all the tin, a week welding up the tin, repairing holes in fender, tool box, bondo work, tractor was completely stripped. Bet I spent about 4 weeks doing the work.

A body shop will charge you about twice what the tractor is worth.

If you don't have the following buy them, air compressor, paint gun. I like using an electric variable DA sander with velcro holding the sanding pads. I used a mig welder to spot repairs to tin work.

When I was much younger, I learned how to do body work. Also learned what the word work meant in body work. I had all the tools needed to paint all my tractors.

I like to use the cheap implement paint sold at Rural King. A gallon of Paint, hardner, and thinner is under $60.
