Why is it always the red paint. Not even that familiar with this spreader, but why would you paint the drive chain and sprockets? Do you think they de-greased it first? I almost hope they painted over the grease, cause otherwise that chain is going to be a pain. Atleast if it was greasy when painted, it should free up, and flake offView attachment 2179743View attachment 2179744
You won't get any argument from me!This is more my style for a rebuild.

Thanks, it turned out nice, disassembled, sandblasted, painted, assembled and then new decals. The moldboards, shins and shares are painted because I won't be in the dirt again. I have other plows for that.It does look good, but I don't blame anyone for not painting the bottom plows and that kinda stuff. With ground engaging impliments, I don't hold rust against them. I just feel like you can spend 2 minutes and use a cardboard spray shield or a trash bag over tires, simple kinda stuff. I often wonder if some of these people even know what an item is used for that they are selling, or understand how it works?
It's the old '5 gallon finish'. People for some ungodly reason think a coat of cheap rattle can paint on everything makes a shot, worn out item good again.Probably worth $200 before they painted it.
