1200 project
 

thanks Diz...yeah it has come along ways but seems like i'm slowing down...lol

Thanks for the pics, dieseldog558! Looking forward to your progress. :beerchug:

Thanks ACecil.....i will keep the pics coming....gonna try to get the frame painted right after Christmas

Wow! That is definitely "tore down"! :bigeyes:
I had a 1200 a while back. They're good tractors.

What did you use to strip the frame down to bare metal? That looks great! I am in a similar stage tearing down my 149 and I am having a time getting the coil spring pins out of the lift bar in the frame. Any suggestions?:BangPC:

GERKS 149.....hey thanks alot.....i used a snap on sand blaster on most of it and then i used an air operated angle grinder with some 3m buffing pads on it...on the lift arm ...i had trouble with mine too...i just kept using a punch and a 4lb hammer and finally they came out...along with some PB Blaster penetrating oil......good luck on those

Great start Diesel. What are the plans for painting that bad boy? Are you gonna go the HVLP route with a spray booth, or are you taking the rattle can approach. Either way, I'm sure its going to turn out great, but I envy you guys that have spray booth set ups.

hey thanks alot....i am going to use the rattle cans...usually put a good coat on,wet sand it and buff it...can't tell it from being sprayed......i hope!!!.....lol
