chdinct 28 #20 Posted April 13, 2010 Nice looking restore. One question. You painted the generator belt guard black, was that the original color? Most I've seen are red. I have a 1077 I will be repainting at some point and would like to go as original as I can. Thanks. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have a 1077 I will be repainting at some point and would like to go as original as I can. Thanks. Hi Chdinct no it is red but I like to experiment with different colors like the PTO is cast iron color that does not really stand out all that much. I also used FORD gray on some parts. I did a lot brushing to original patina, then clear coat, I also did this to the bolts Just to break it up I do not mean to insult but I hate all red or 1 color it looks like a blob. when u buy a new car u see the bolts there all shiny looking new this stands out. so this is where I am at. thank for all the kind words and to all may your w/ horses live for ever.
