Stuck Brake cam on YM2000

[kenmac]

I have used Krylon brand "Italian Olive" and was pleased with it. Thinking I got it a Wally World. Krylon Italian Olive Satin CoverMaxx - Walmart.com

I have used this as well.... It's real close ....close enough for a tractor :thumbsup:

I use KANO KROIL I let it soak in a few minutes too over night then twist it out with my hand... Sometimes I have to tap on it a little to get it moving... This is good stuff...

Kroil was not gonna move this! I used a generic penetrating oil but still have to spply enough heat to bake the paint off on the back of the cover and i had that vise as tight as i could get it. Had to use the 4ft cheater pipe and it still had quite a bit of resistance on that long pipe before it broke free.

Carey That paint looks too minty green to match mine ...maybe its the colors from the camera messing with it?

I bought the Italian Olive and it matches as best as you could hope a $4 can off the shelf could. I have the cover painted and need to do the cam ( i left it at work over the weekend i have an oring to reinstall) once the cam is cleaned and painted i will reinstall it all. and give a quick blast to the houseing where the paint was chipped off.

I will include 2 pics as the flash made it look different. I think one was with flash and the other without? But anyway the pics are different due to colors by the camera. The darker pic looks closer to how it does in person.

Mines light green to that no doubt. Darn close enough! Like Ken said It's a tractor and 40 yrs. old at that.

Finally got it done. I had to adjust it a pretty good bit to get the brakes to the same petal level. Which tells me the left brake was never working since I had it. I knew it always pulled right but never looked into it and kept putting it off. The paint matches closer than it looks when its mounted but I wiped the extra silicone and the sprayed the edge where the paint was chipped and the bolt heads etc. Anyway the area next to it is dirty and has oily dirt there so its all dirty to make it look off colored.

I think you need to paiint the whole tractor now, brake area doesn't match.

I actually have the Yanmar red from Hoye to paint the metal. Just never have got that enthusiastic about stripping it all off and painting it. I need and want to its just not high on the list. Its the recon oranish red and not the right color. I think I will wait on the green though.

Nice try
