Really good vid , just doing a mf35x up my self , not to far from getting it painted up now, hopefully it will look as good as yours does, all the best with it , keeping an eye out for the next vid! keep them coming !
Thanks I am very happy with how this part turned out. My friend is going to help me fix all the dents in the hood and he will spray it in his paint booth. I am hoping to have it painted before spring.
@@thedelcodave I did see that in a later video. So glad your tractor is back to peak performance and looks again! I love these old tractors, it's a shame when people let them decay.
The engine and frame of my 35 was done with a single stage automotive 2 part paint. I opted to not prime since there was still red oxide primer on most of the tractor. The paint I used was good up to 275 degrees F and has been holding up good so far. The body panels went through the whole treatment primers base coat and clear coat.
No problems with heat. if I remember correctly this paint was good to 275 degrees F. If my engine gets that hot paint would be the least of my problems.
I will use it... but since I live in the middle of suburbia it will see lots of pavement parades. I am planning on taking it to a local farm to try to do some actual farming with it at some point.
Yeah this was intended to be a long term project I picked up in December but I foolishly told ppl it would be down by may so I am working every extra minute I have on bodywork straightening the front hood up getting ready for paint.

Video came out nice man.
Why didn't the front rims get paint as well? I am going to be refurbishing a 35 Deluxe soon, so this was helpful
@@Aelanna they were painted when we did the red paint. I wanted to paint them when I had the tires off

what is the best tip size to paint a tractor? 1.3 or 1.8?
@@VinesGrapesAndWines I believe we used 1.3 size tip for the clear and 1.2 for the base
Hello from Ireland I'm doing up a mf 35 red and grey , what is the first paint you are using, is it a 2 Pak primer. Tks

Interesting!
Does the heat of the engine affect the paint?

Stupendo

Nice paint job, however one should never paint rubber hoses and the tank should have been removed.
They were the old hoses and were replaced after painting the grey. I am aware that the fuel tanks were originally red but I wanted mine to be grey.
Ok
It's grayt. But now you can't use it. Too nice and clean.
I will use it... but since I live in the middle of suburbia it will see lots of pavement parades. I am planning on taking it to a local farm to try to do some actual farming with it at some point.
Looks good. Didn't need to take the tires off the rims then.
Man I have a 35, 35x and a 135 and they are all a long way off paint 😂

So if you complain about his paint job he’d shoot you lol lovely job though
