How did you get it all cleaned up for paint? Man you're good
Thanks Hubman!

Also thanks to you ajcombs!

zippy1, thank you much! It is rattle can, only thing clear coated is the s/g. Had some orange peeling issues with the clear coat so I didn't try on the rest of tractor. I stripped the 71 down to just engine/drivetrain, then use a commercial grade oven cleaner. Let that sit on there for a while and it will eat some of the paint off let alone all the grease and grime. Hose it off and then sand away. Where I can't get my orbital sander I do by hand. Raised the chassis up off the floor to paint underneath. Thanks again!

IAfarmer, now that's a cool compliment Thanks bud.

Chris, was a ton of prep work, that's 3/4 of the battle! Thanks!!
