Couldn't find my old thread so I'll make a new one. I just got done washing this beast of a project, only thing left to do is a couple decals. Just for a size reference the rear tires are about 5' 2" tall, this is a Ford 5000.

Nice work as usual Tim or should I say Ford goo hoo. Question, do you guys leave the engine and trans in the frame when you do the blue or red or grey depending on the model? Basically remove sheet metal and tires etc and paint the whole works or is it completely disassembled and painted then assembled?

That's how IH did it on the big tractors. (leave engine/drivetrain/axle/rear end bolted together and blast the whole thing)

Extremely nice work!
Where do you guys find customers willing to shell out that kind of cash for such nice paint jobs on tractors? No way they can come close to ever recovering their investment.

It can be about recovering your investment if your planning on using the tractor! If not it's about preserving history ! Very nice work! Friend of mine his dad has one just like it. Not as pretty!

they find us. to be serious most of the tractors we do belonged to the dad or grandfather and its more sentimental than an investment, some guys want a corvette and some guys want an old ford tractor.

Makes sense, most of the tractors I saw you post pics of are not exactly high dollar machines. 25 years ago we used to paint them for folks, but not like you guys are doing. Finally quit because there was no real money to be be made since we were not pro painters. I had to explain to a fellow one time there was no way we could paint his tractor acceptably with grease and fuel dripping all over the place. It finally got to be way more fun just to paint our stuff, I could take as much time as I wanted that way.

Agreed. I couldn't care less about a sports car; I'd have much more fun with a Farmall M and a 3 bottom plow. (no insurance, registration or license required either)

Cub Cadet is a premium line of outdoor power equipment, established in 1961 as part of International Harvester. During the 1960s, IH initiated an entirely new line of lawn and garden equipment aimed at the owners rural homes with large yards and private gardens. There were a wide variety of Cub Cadet branded and after-market attachments available; including mowers, blades, snow blowers, front loaders, plows, carts, etc. Cub Cadet advertising at that time harped on their thorough testing by "boys - acknowledged by many as the world's worst destructive force!". Cub Cadets became known for their dependability and rugged construction.

MTD Products, Inc. of Cleveland, Ohio purchased the Cub Cadet brand from International Harvester in 1981. Cub Cadet was held as a wholly owned subsidiary for many years following this acquisition, which allowed them to operate independently. Recently, MTD has taken a more aggressive role and integrated Cub Cadet into its other lines of power equipment.
