kpinnc 18,691 #231 Posted June 21 Decided to shoot the final coat before the kids got up. Three gnats in the left side in almost a straight line- but I think there's enough paint to let the buffer fix it in a day or two. Either way I'm done painting this bleeping hood. 1 9 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 18,691 #232 Posted June 24 At least the belt guard buffed out nice. If the hood looks as good I will be happy. 1 7 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kpinnc 18,691 #233 Posted June 24 Went ahead and put the hood on for now. The paint looks pretty good minus a couple issues I'll fix later. Even with hardener this Rustoleum is soft enough to make a print in if you really bear down on it so I'll fix the couple spots in a month or so. But it does have enough shine for a reflection as it is. I'll take it! 1 5 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Blaine 96 #238 Posted June 25 Just WOW. I love the 61 steekers. My 702 steeker, not so much. I wish it wasn’t so abused. I’d have to replace nearly everything to get it anywhere close to looking like your 701. Fantastic job. 1 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

702854boy 907 #240 Posted yesterday at 03:09 AM @kpinnc, do you still have the original front tires? If so how much would you want for them? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

If so how much would you want for them I honestly had planned to eventually get the original wheels and tires cleaned up and on the tractor at some point. That being said, if I decide otherwise you have first dibs. ...Might be a while, just FYI. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
