Yes, it sure did take me some time, but I wanted to do the best job I could. And it was already very clean from being at my friend Joe's to be checked over, so it seemed like the perfect time to tackle it. Thanks for supporting me and my channel, my good friend.
@@pagrainfarmer got a beautiful Friday morning here started off at 61° we're up to about 75° now getting some things done here on the farm hope things are well with you also my friend.🙂☕
@@SoybeanFarmer3300 We started at 53 degrees this morning and going up into the low eighty's and low humidity. Was up making adjustments on the 4400 earlier. My wife and I are going to a concert tonight. Tomorrow I'll finish getting the 4400 switched over for corn. Was helping 2 different neighbors with round bales yesterday - video to come either tonight or tomorrow (internet is slow for upload).
It looks great Charlie! Original ones are nice, but so are painted ones. You gotta do what makes you happy. Or what makes the wife happy. Actually, just stick with the wife one and things will go much smoother.
Man, Chris, ain't that the truth! 😄😄😄😄 I appreciate your kind words. While they won't all look new, I do take pride in the appearance of my Olivers. I really appreciate you being here and commenting, as always, my friend.
Oh boy does she look nice! I like the original tractors but hey to each there own right! Very nice 66, she will look nice sitting next to the Super 88. Good job Charlie
Thanks Russell! Looking forward to lining up all the Olivers and the White and either taking a nice pic or doing a video. Thanks for supporting the channel.
I was one of the ones who said leave it in it's working clothes, but as you said it is your choice Charlie. When you found out it wasn't original paint, then I'd have done the same as you. Fact is what anyone decides to do with their tractor is up to them. You made her proud, she's a fine looking tractor and you are to be congratulated for those efforts sir.
Oh well that was interesting to find out it’s been painted before but I was an extremely good find the tractor and I’m glad it’s in somebody’s hands I loved it and I think it looks wonderful now that it’s been repainted and I’m sure you’re gonna have very many years of enjoyment with it
Thank you so much. I also feel that it was a great find. Joe told me he hadn't seen a 66 in this kind of mechanical condition and with good sheet metal in over 30 years. I'm pleased with my purchase and hope to be using it for a long time.
Oliver looks good. I doubt many of these old tractors over their 50-60 years of existence haven’t seen paint at some point. I’m on the fence with my Farmall 350. My wallet and old school in me says no paint - keep the work clothes, but a new paint job on a old tractor like that (and your Oliver) makes me think how things looked back in the day when these tractors were new. Shinny green or red paint on a farm back in the day must have been a great sight to behold. The paint side of me says that same visual would be great to see again today... Good video...👍
Thank you for your kind words. You know I'm an Oliver guy, but I think those 350's and 450's look really sharp with their white fronts against the red of the rest of the tractor. I definitely think they look nice going through the fields all painted up. Like one viewer pointed out, it's also for protection of the sheet metal parts. However, it's every tractor owner's prerogative to choose whether to paint or not. So what ever you decide is the right decision for you.
Love the look. Paint isn’t just for looks; it’s a metal preservative and period-correct preservation of a classic tractor is always a plus. Now the paint reflects the mechanical condition. Nice job.
Well done Charlie, it looks awesome for me, I had the same with my Farmall, mechanically original but was painted before so I did it it over and it have already a new/old patina
Hey Charlie thanks for another great video! I was on board with leaving it original and not painting it, however like you I assumed that it was wearing its original paint, if it had already been painted at least once I'd say you definitely did the right thing, looks great!
Someone I was talking to the other day suggested the same thing - a real small roller brush. There's gotta be something. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
Man that turned out nice!! I totally see your point with wanting to paint it Mr Charlie!! Nothing wrong with that, it's your tractor to do as you wish with it! I personally, after seeing it think it was a good choice!! Not a painter, shoot looks excellent to me sir!! It is now complete with the maintet done, and some fresh paint!! I bet that was a PIA to letter the axle housing 🤣🤣🤦🤦🤦 Thank you sir for the update, and showing us a job well done sir!! Look fwd to seeing what's next!! 😁😁😁🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍
Thanks for the kind words, Nelson. Those raised letters on the front and back of the axle housing took me about 2 hours to do - just 26 letters in all. And did I say that I hate "R's"???? That tractor broke my heart with the way it looked, especially the wheels and hood. I appreciate you ALWAYS being here to support me and this channel. It means everything, my friend.
@@pagrainfarmer Yes sir always!! I did get a chuckle when you said PIA I bet you said a few words to yourself that day!! 🤣🤣🤣 I love every min of it sir!!
@@Pennies_on_the_dollar Yes, Nelson, there were a few colorful phrases thrown around during the time I painted those letters. Glad that's done!!!!! 🤣🤣🤣🤣
By golly she looks pretty good to me ! I like it a lot so dont worry about it or what other people say its your tractor you do as you please. My 1850 has never been painted on and I'm a bit up in the air about painting it, But the 770 she will get more paint work done to it because someone started the work and now I got to finish it and make her stand tall and proud again. Bandit
Thanks Don. I noticed that your 770 looked like the restoration had already been started, so you part way there already. Like you said, you'll just have to finish the job. I appreciate you watching and commenting.
@@pagrainfarmer I guess the old guy that had it started repainting it, Not a real good paint job but good enough for him I guess. Most of its painted except for the fenders and dash and back rims and centers. I bought some paint to see if it will match whats on it but I dont think it will so I'll more than likely end up repainting the hole thing witch i'll more than likely do after I get blue done and out of the shop first ! LOL My friend its always a pleasure talking with you and seeing what your up to. Great minds think alike ! Bandit
@@banditfarmer1900 I feel the same way. It's ALWAYS a pleasure and great minds DO think alike! I always look forward to the videos you post and the conversations we have afterwards. 😃😃😃
@@banditfarmer1900 Oh my God - I've thought about that a lot since we started talking on here. We'd have a great time if we lived closer. Our wives/girlfriends would probably never see us. LOL
Wow what a beautiful 66. That is a rear tractor in my area. You have done a great job cleaning it up I would have done the same thing it just makes the tractor last longer and keep it macanicly and cosmeticly well maintained.
Yes, it has come to a good home where it will be used, but taken care of and maintained. Just like pets, it has found its "forever home" where it will be appreciated. Thanks for your kind words.
The Meadow green was Tallmans Ag Special Coatings (Industrial enamel) and the Oliver red and yellow were both Sparex Super Premium Agri-Paint, also enamel. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Im glad you did paint it. I love the look of a faded Oliver but the fact it wasn’t original made it a great paint candidate. I’ll also say for doing it yourself that paint job looks amazing.
That's how I felt - once it was determined that the paint wasn't original - that kinda did it for me. Thanks for your kind words. They are appreciated and thanks for understanding.
Yeah, I liked the color of the fleetlines better than the flat fender (50 and 55 series). Don't know why they decided to change. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Awesome job it looks great I like original the best but if it wasn't original paint I probably would have did the same thing LOL I just got fresh paint on my 88 and it looks just about like that but mine's got white Wheels in the bigger tires I can't remember what they are 38 or something nice nice video
It definitely was not original paint. There were many places where you could see that there were 2 layers of paint - no doubt about. I'll bet your 88 looks fine. Thanks for watching and commenting.
Yep - had it been truly original, paint-wise, I would never have touched it. But under the circumstances, painting seemed like the right thing to do. Thanks for watching and commenting, James.
@@pagrainfarmer it goes into a deeper problem in our society where people actually think someone else is responsible for their hurt feelings but I digress. If you did the paint job you did a nice job. I've got a 46 John Deere B that years ago was painted with a brush which made it last much longer which is why we paint things to begin with.
It's absolutely BEAUTIFUL , great job
Thank you, Karin! I appreciate that very much.
Looks great sweet little tractor
Nice of you to say so. Thanks for supporting this channel.
Looks sharp 👍🏻

Thanks Ross! I appreciate you supporting the channel. As I remember, you were one of the few who told me I should repaint it. Thanks!
The new paint looks good. I wonder if they would have used a roller brush for the letters?
Someone I was talking to the other day suggested the same thing - a real small roller brush. There's gotta be something. Thanks for viewing and commenting.
The little Oliver looks nice Charlie! As far as paint vs. patina, I think people should go with whatever makes them happy.
