I had a guy take a look at my tractor the other day and after four years since it came home from the shop got it going again. It still has an electrical problem (he's coming back in the next week or two) but I know it will run now.
It was a combination of stupid stuff that caused it not to work (eg not knowing how to set the points properly and screwing up the distributor timing and a few other minor things). Also the power steering line blew out but hey, it moved! Sometimes it pays to get an extra set of eyes to look at the problem.
Anyways, here is my question - once I get Two-Ton fully functional I want to finally take it to the auto hobby shop on base and give her a repaint job. What is the best method to repaint it? How much of the tractor should I actually dismantle and then go in and repaint?
I'm looking at getting the Martin Seynor or the PPG paint. I want to do this correctly so the expense is justfied. Where do I get the supplied air system and can I rent it? I saw something that Harbor Freight carries them but I didn't see one when I went in.
I've read how to repaint your tractor...that new book at TSC and I'm confident given the right amount of prep I can do this. I do have an old industrial paint gun my grandfather picked up working at the steel mill.
