Had a good couple of days on the tractor probably only a good days work left now, engine oil and filter changed, back end oil changed, all wheels and tyres back on, all rear lamps fitted, power steering nearly completed, bonnet painted but needs flatting for second coat.
Cheers Len

That is a great looking job. I was noticing that your shop looks like it might have been a chicken house judging from what look like Lubing nipple drinkers and the feed line augers on the wall. I have 2 40'x500' and 1 40'x830' houses that we raise replacement pullets in. My wife says she will be glad when I can make a shop and hay barn out of those. Love the tractor

Len,
Really an excellent job -
I assume the main colour is "Empire Blue" ?
How did you decide on the shade of orange to be used - do you perhaps have a colour code for the paint ?
Regards
Tjibbe

Hi Tjibbe, yes the blue is Empire Blue from T.H.Whites ( New Holland Dealers) and the orange is Fordson Orange bought from Agriline, I was told that it is also available from T.H.Whites and is thew same shade as Allis Chalmers Orange but not sure if this info is correct and they never had any in stock at the time.
Regards Len
