[shawnjvl]

Started repainting my YM2000, I will post photos as I go. The fenders and the hood had alot of surface rust spots, ground and sandblasted all the spots, filled and primed. Using TSC implement paint MF red, white, and black for the frame and chassis, First pic is before, second in process

I just used touchup in a spray can I've had since I Bought my tractor that I purchased when I was buying parts. Finally got around to useing it and looks good enough for me. It's a 35yr Old tractor made for work! I've never been a Desk Jockey and if you had a Busy or Rough Day your useally dirty and maybe a Little Scratched up at the end of it. I'm over 10 yrs. older than my Tractor and now I'm thinking I could use a little touch up in a few places myself. :laughing:

Main reason I'm doing repaint is the rust, Living on the Gulf Coast with the salt air, I didn't want to end up with major rust. Regards

Sorry about that Shawn just agreeing with Smoody It Didn't Look That Bad At All. Seen alot Worse and for sale wanting Big bucks for it. What I mostly hit was Just bare metal and my Grills and same here my wheels are next they have Rice Patty Rust spots on them. I'm just waiting to get Brave enough to get out my El Cheapo HF Paint gun and hope I don't make a Total Mess :ashamed:

Only 10 years older.... for me I need a rebuild...some days it is a little more than scratched up. My mind thinks i am 30 but my body always tells the truth!!

A few more pics, Pulled fuel tank, pulled all wiring and acc., pulled dash, battery, seat. Repaired some more spots on hood, cleaned all the glue where old stickers were. Started cleaning up rust on frame and motor and priming bare metal. Have a great day

Cary those are interesting bearing caps on the front. Are yours held on bly 3 bolts? Mine appear to be the tap on kind like youd find on the front of any old 2wd pickup truck. I see that you oil cap was painted green mine is still yellow? Just interesting to see others machines up close. Tell me what you have on your front bearing caps or take a straight on pic of the for me!

Unless you plan on stripping, cleaning, priming, painting each and every piece on the chassis, engine, and frame, I would forget about changing to black and just touch up the green, otherwise you could end up with a big mess.
