They say you can't make a tractor original again. I just crossed that line on the Oliver 500. I shot the Clover White paint on the wheels,grill and seat this morning,then sprayed the Meadow Green on the fenders,fender braces,fender mounts,lights,cross box,battery covers and other small parts this afternoon.
I took the sand blaster to the dash this afternoon when I got done. I need to do some more scraping and a lot of pressure washing on the chassis before I can paint the rest of it. I'll have to wait for the paint on the grill to get dry enough for masking tape before I can paint the hood. I want to put another coat on everything after I get it back together to cover up the new bolts and whatever scratches I put in it trying to piece those orchard fenders all back together.
It's coming along.
