1950's Dearborn cultivator find and rebuild

[sixdogs]

I was in a Tractor Supply Store and I saw they had Majic Truck, Tractor and Implement Spray Enamel in several different reds. They were Ford Red/Safety Red, New Holland Red, MF Red and IH Red. Wondered if the Ford Red would be correct. I think I will paint my cultivator, but I don't have a heated shop, so it will be a few months when it warms up around here.

Under no circumstances use that kind of paint. Re-read what I wrote. For just a couple of $$more you can have a beautiful paint that will last and not fade or chalk. This part is critical or you are better off just spraying the old paint with diesel fuel and it will look better.

I agree, your wasting your time with Majic. TSC used to sell BPS paints in all the old tractor colors and it holds up well. then they switched brands so I just go to the dealer and pay a little more and get good paint. I think there is an old thread on here somewhere covering Majic paint from TSC
