Thank you guys...funny the ocd thing...get it all the time....nope, no clear...I haven't done that on any of my tractors...I have done it on some motorcycle parts I have squirted for people and the results were very good...I just like that I can wet sand and buff or even patch straight color if need be...I noticed the irongard does leave halos or imperfect color matches when patched, but good enough for a garden tractor...and believe it or not but one that will get used from time to time...I should've documented all the work I did on the front axle, as far as bronze bushings, grease channels and drilled and tapped stainless zerks...For the pivot and for the spindles....I'll get some more shots after I get her broke in some....

Thanks again

PS. Oh and the tires are 4x8 deestone tri-ribs in front and Carlisle trupowers in the rear...

I don't plan on going quite this crazy with my 108 but I intend to make it a pretty sweet piece! Can't go wrong with more grease fittings!

I can't emphasize this enough...... EXCELLENT JOB!! BEAUTIFUL RESTORATION!
