Lanse, First, I agree, get it running first. You start painting, the you get it all oily greasy, scratch you new paint, you won't be happy. As for preparation, Use a wire brush only on the heavy, rough cast parts. You use a wire wheel on tin, you will make it look like crap, create 10 times more work to get all the scratches out that you will make in the tin. Do not use a DA sander, you will burn the base paint and make a mess. the hood, tank, front end are small, hand sand it, straighten all your tin, fill with a liquid fill n glaze, hand sand that smooth, then prime it, sand it, prime it, sand it. do this until it is as smooth as you want it. I am using Rustoleum rattle can primer on the small parts and it is working good, just takes 5-6 hours to dry to be able to sand it. Then paint it. there is no such thing as an easy way to get a good surface that will look nice. I have over 30 hours in the hood, tank, and front end of my M and I still am not done with base work and preparation. I have yet to put a machine on it, it has all been hand sanded. And mine still will not be perfect. Jim

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
