There are two types of HVLP, one is the self-contained turbine system Andy used, the other is a gun that uses an air compressor. All the air compressor type HVLP guns I have seen are gravity feed. The advantage is no drips, they don't sputter, they simply run out of paint. I'm not going to get into the price/quality thing, but I have a Sharpe Cobalt as a primer gun, and a refurbished (half the price of new) Sharpe Platinum -- an excellent gun, not the world's best but very good. If you are not going to paint much, buy the cheap gun. If you are going to paint several tractors, get the "lifetime" guns to begin with, you won't regret it. Most HVLP guns are easy to adjust, if I remember correctly, set the paint flow wide open, then back off a quarter turn, the air adjustment is similar, I have this written down, haven't painted in a while, I can look it up -- these are HVLP adjustments, not gravity. Set the air pressure to 40-50 lbs (it will say on the gun) AT THE GUN, using the paint regulator on the wall. Remember these instructions are all for HVLP. Many people who use conventional or siphon feed guns do not like HVLP, because it is slower and requires a different technique. I assure you, since you are a new painter, get an HVLP gun -- you WILL like it.

The year was about 1967 and my father found a good used Ford 601 tractor to use on the farm instead of "Bob", our old mule. Now my grandfather had had this mule since the mid 40's and he was getting some age on him. S
