This has probably been covered many times but I missed it. I don't know if it gripes you as much as it does me,when I see someone trying to sell a tractor it appears to me that they take a spray can and try to paint the rims, getting more paint on the tires than the rim. It looks terrible and personally turns me away from buying that tractor. Why not take a little extra time and do it right
or leave it the way it was. Any Comments?

There is a simple solution to your problem and that is to not buy it, actually you stated that yourself. As for someone else's tractor having some overspray, I too wonder about why but I don't really care one way or the other, after all, maybe he likes them with overspray and he might even lose sleep over someone like me or you who masks off the tires before painting. Someone else mentioned life being too short to worry about stuff like this.

Hey Thurlow, I actually found out the base meaning of "anal retentive". I knew of course that it referred to a guy who had to have all his ducks in a row and super-organized and clean, etc. But a workplace partner explained the actual origins of the term. If you want I will try to explain it here to you, just let me know (or maybe you already do). Sort of interesting, well maybe not interesting but it's at least an explanation.

Guys, life is to short to worry about a little paint on a tire. I ran a rear tire on my tractor that someone had painted white for his wife to plant flowers in, there wasn"t anything wrong with the tire, and it had 80% of it"s life left so I ran it for three years. When I put on new tires, I gave the white one to a neighbor, it"s on his tractor now, you can still see white paint on it, so I don"t reckon it bothers him anymore than it did me.

All comes down to attention to detail, probably gave the mechanicals the same care, I would pass.

Another thing that works good,is rub vasoline on the tire before you paint..after paint is dry,wipe or wash off the jelly and the paint..easy

Hello, I have painted a lot of tractors, I found a little paint thinner on a cloth the next day after painting wheels will wipe right off of rubber tire ,works good for me and leaves no trace of paint on the tires. All it takes is a little arm work.

Like Ed,I too, have painted many tractors and I use the same method except I use a thinner soaked rag immediately after painting the wheels.Never use the rag above the wheel where thinner can run down on the fresh paint.Always from the side or bottom.Get it while the paint is still wet.It comes off real easy then.

At the expense of possibly upsetting someone when I see overspray all over the tires and people advertise it as refurbished or restored I just accept it as an indicator of the type of job that was done. Since its such a minor thing I wonder how much else was done in the same fashion. Then again there are those that just don't recognize a good job. It's my opinion that they probably don't complete their paperwork after their morning constitutional either....

My problem has been more of when to paint. When restoring I usually include new rubber. If the paint on the rims is green when the tires are replaced, the tire looks nice, but the paint takes a whacking. Then you have all the touch up which looks just like just that; be it spray or brush.

On units not requiring new rubber (few) I make a mask to keep it off.

Then I have read where some paint black over the rim color to hide it. Guess it works.

My 2c.

I have painted a lot of tractors and never mask tires. I find that what little overspray gets on them quickly fades.

Its an easy indicator of the way the vendor is marketing his wares. Use it as such, and take advantage if this information if you consider making a bid.
