Adam you do great work. Like Rescue11, I look at your tractor pic everyday on my computer.

Thanks guys! I'll be sure to get lots of pics after I get the tool box painted and after the deck is done. Hopefully, I'll get some free time soon and get back to painting.

I sprayed some etching primer on the tool box today.

Looks nice, Adam! Thanks for the pic and update.

OH MY!!! I just barely stumbled across this... You have done an amazing job on this thing, I always wondered why IH never painted these like the big ones, and the original paint is somewhat deceiving in that its hard to tell how similar they look to the big ones, until you see something like this! Great job!

Welcome to OCC, Nick! Glad to have you!

Thanks Nick. I agree that they should have been painted this way from the factory.
Welcome to OCC.

Painted the tool box last night. Can't wait for the paint to dry so I can get it mounted.

I also painted the belt guards for the deck. The deck has new belts and is ready to mow.

I bolted on the tool box. I'll give the paint a while longer to cure before I bolt on the lid.
