So is mine, but I'm gonna have to. It's about twice as tall as yours. Been raining here off and on for a couple weeks...... now it's like 87 with 200% humidity. (It's HOT and muggy) The dew still hasn't dried! :bigeyes:

The "O" does look really good Sam! Are the tires all original?

Wow that looks Great! I wish our O looked that nice.

Great job Sam. My O is blasted and getting ready for paint so you got me motivated to keep going. Those tires do look all original, front and back, sweet.

Can't say for sure but I think the tires are original and they are in very good condition considering they are 52 years old, almost no cracks. :beerchug:

A little touch up with a brush for some of the scratch's is about it as far as the tractor is concerned. The deck is a different matter. For now the O is back in it's parking spot. Shop needs a serious cleaning, the lawn needs mowing, house needs some TLC, you know the drill.

First 3 pics are before painting.
Two questions for you Sam,

1. Did you try that battery you linked a few pages back?
2. Did you just use the primer and then color or did you clear over the color too?
