: Other than being more expensive, what are the pros and cons of John Deere spray can paint versus mixing/thinning and spray automotive style? I've sprayed a few small pieces after wet sanding that don't look too bad. Any advice is appreciated, thanks. My dealer tells me that Agriculture green (in spray can or brush) is basically the only green available since the removal of the lead bases that John Deere and others used in the past. The Classic green available is lighter and used on the newer garden series, am I being told correctly? Thanks again.

I cant tell you much about JD colours but I can tell you one thing about spray paints. Someone
gave me a whole case of spray paint one time
that the feed tubes were clogged in. I tried to
unclog them but had no luck. So I shot them with a BB gun to let the propellant out without it
spraying all over me, then cut the top off with tin snips and poured the contents into my spray gun. ( I didnt use it on a tractor, It was something I didnt care about looks too much and just needed to get a coating on) What I found after I cut the top off surprised me. Those
cans are only about 1/3 full of paint. And that is
already thinned. so your not getting much paint
for your money. That is on top of all the disadvantages the other guys listed below.

Today's Featured Article - New Hitches For Your Old Tractor - by Chris Pratt. For this article, we are going to make the irrational and unlikely assumption that you purchased an older tractor that is in tip top shape and needs no immediate repairs other than an oil change and a good bath. To the newcomer planning to restore the machine, this means you have everything you need for the moment (something to sit in the shop and just look at for awhile while you read the books). To the newcomer that wants to get out and use the machine for field work, you may have already hit a major roadblock. That is the dreaded "proprietary hitch". With the exception of the ...
