I sure wished it was possible to posts more than one pic at a time here......I hate to junk up the thread with a post for each pic......... )</font>

As long as you keep it in a single thread, nobody seems to mind. After all, you can't get a lot of good photos in single post because of the 100kbyte limit. What some folks do is post to the photos section (not the photos forum) and then put several links in one post. You can also do that if you have another website to post to. Otherwise, it pretty much "Reply" to yourself and add another photo one at a time.

I think I waxed my tractor a couple of times in the beginning just to help preserve the finish, but not to really make it shiny. Once I realized that the fiberglass seems to be pretty tough, I gave up on the wax. /forums/images/graemlins/smile.gif

My tractor certainly gets dirty. I either blow it off with compressed air or rinse it when I can't take it anymore. Most of the time it's just dirty. I've never really tried to keep it spotless. It's a working machine and now it has tons of scratches from limbs in my woods. I don't abuse it, but I sure don't try to keep it pristine. The grill guard has kept me from smashing my grill many times. You want to maintain the hood and grill in good condition because the fine mesh is actually a filter medium to keep out the "cotton" that would otherwise clog up your radiator.

I've actually had dirt 'protect' my machine.

I had a part hanging on a wire outside and did some spray painting on it.. only to look over a half hour later and see a light red 'haze' on my big blue work tractor.. I freaked out a bit.. Was thinking about naptha to wipe it down.. then notice dthe good 'dust' layer on the hood... hose dit all off... and the red paint stuck to the dust... and left ithout a trace!

I think it started a bad habit... I don't wash my work tractors much.. only the parade queens /forums/images/graemlins/grin.gif
