Thanks. I'm with you on the wishing part. I really don't know how these guys get some of their Cubs looking so perfect. I had runs on the drive shaft. Then scuffed it all up putting on the fan. I got the bolt heads but forgot to do the nuts. I redid my Garden trailer wheels at the same time. Wired brushed them. Straightened out some minor "dents" . Filed the bead nice and smooth and then gave them 3 coats of paint. They looked like brand new. Then I put on the tires and chipped some paint and put in a couple of scratches. I guess I'll have to be happy with sorta clean working machines. I don't think I 'll ever be able to build a show horse.
I like the idea of the powder coat. I don't know the process but I bet it looks like colored chrome. And that would be the ultimate. Thanks for the props and thanks to every member out there who has given me their time and sage advise. It means alot to this old man. And my tractors mean a lot to me.
