The mule drive for my 782 needed some help both mechanically and ascetically.
Stripped 39yrs of gunk and old paint off then primed and painted. Since I don't have a compressor I used rattle cans. I thought I had made a horrible mistake after I began painting. I used the color charts from this site and ordered my paints from CCSpecialties. I started with the small parts first and that first bracket looked almost yellow rather than "white". I han't stripped all the hanger yet so I took some brake cleaner and cleaned off an area and I was shocked to find that the new paint and old were the same. To the purists I apologize for not keeping it all IH White but my tractor is red and I think the red pieces are tastefully done and this will once again bring some class to the neighborhood when I get everything back in use. The 44c deck is next to get refurbished. Maybe start later this week. My apologies for the sideways pic. No matter what I did it always turned on me.
