[Farmall] Restoration

[Barney Van De Weert]

I used Case-IH paint on my A, I was told by the Dealer that it is made by 
Valspar. It was very easy to work with and came out very well. As long as you 
are doing this I would add hardner to it as well, that will add shine as well as 
duarabilty.

Steiner Tractor has a good VHS tape on How to Paint a Tractor that I found 
helpful. 


I also got paint gun settings off the internet which helped as well.

Tommy,

Thanks for your 2 cents!  :-)  I'm going to test the paint on the air
cleaner assembly and go from there.  Thanks!!
