  • Let's do some painting! In this video I prime and paint the main powertrain of the tractor. I explain my process for prepping the metal, what paint & primer I use, my paint gun, and how I set up the shop for painting.

    You do a super job restoring the Farmall tractors. My favorite, the "H", brings back a lot of fond memories on my grandparent's farm in the early 50's. Always look forward to your videos.

    What a difference the cameras made! I thought at first you were rebuilding Barbie’s tractor! Way better color with the second camera! Keep up the great work on this beauty!

    The 2nd camera makes a big difference in the way the red paint appears! It's things like that which you do which make this a special channel. Reminds me of the time I helped a friend paint his 64 Opel Kadett Caravan wagon - bright red like yours! In a garage with a small fan exhausting the air... to this day, we can see the red tinge on the fan blades 50+ years later if I go visit his parents house. One of the only families I know who still live in the same house from the early 60's. Thanks for bringing us along, Pete!

    Thanks so much for taking the time to detail your painting process. That info is invaluable to me as there are so many choices out there and I know you have had great success with what you are using. You’re going to love the narrow front on the C-so much easier to steer and maneuver than the wide front. I’m sure you’ll be doing doughnuts in no time!

  • @rcclassiccrawlers4368

    Nice job on the paint work and the restoration. Reminds me of when I painted my pickup truck in my garage. Poly everything, wet down the floor and install make shift exhaust fan with furnace filters. Doesn’t stop all particles but better than nothing. And I’ll probably never paint in there again cause no matter how well you poly paint finds a way of getting on things that weren’t intended…lol

    Pete, great job explaining about the painting. You made sure to have proper light, to see what you were painting. Many beginners make that mistake, and miss spots because of it. So glad you showed proper ventilation, and masking also. Thanks for the help. Oh yeah, you are so right about the turn in from wide to narrow steering.

    From what I've seen Paint quality of the Tractors you have done is better then what was done at the Factory. Lots of places were missed at the factory because everything was Red even the belts and hoses. Quality of the paint itself is also way better.

    I think it was very smart to go from wide front to a narrow front. Obvious reasons and you can keep the wide front to something else. I like how easy it is to follow the steps in this video. If I'm going to start painting again. I will go back to this video and follow the steps.

    Awesome 👍 still slowly restoring my 50yo Yanmar. Literally painting as I work on it. Engine rebuilt in place (love sleeves and a good crank lol) painted that.. going to next part... Just terrified to get done. That means sheet metal is all that's left. You're right you can fudge on cast iron but sheet metal tells all!

    You are very humorous and quite entertaining mister, and you’re right, not a tick to be seen thank heavens.
    Once again the tractor is beautifully painted I was especially glad to know you will continue the imperial measure battle as it should be.
    I’m looking forward to the full Super C.

The internet is amazing. I could do anything on my 1969 AMC AMX 390 WITH THE RIGHT SEARCH. NEAL

I have to say these old tractors you restore are so much better than anything you buy new. No plastic or cheap light weight parts that tend to wear out and break in no time. Pete say hi to Hillary and you guys have a great day. Bye for now.

    Looks great Pete! Growing up as a kid, we were all red on the farm. When by dad repainted our B with woods mower, he used green CheckRust paint as a primer. Before it got the finish coat, by brother and I pulled a couple of plug wires, and started it. Dad caught us at it, and almost disowned us! Said if you want one of those green ones, go move to the neighbors.

    I couldn't help but laugh at the Darth Vader joke. Lol. I hope you have some before and after pictures of the tractor. Love the idea of switching to narrow front end. And in reference to the differences in the camera, wow what a difference. It definitely made a difference in the color. Thanks for sharing the mixtures with the paint. That will be helpful for me when I get ready to start some of my restoration projects I have in mind.

  • @survivingmaineona20acrefar77

    It is sad how we have to explain our methods hoping to not offend. My father painted cars and motorcycles for years just as you have and he just turned 82 recently.
