I'm doing the same thing right now. I decided to clean and paint the axles before I remount the new tires. Looks great. Used Van Sykle Allis Chalmers orange. Perfect match. I may regret my tire choice. I bought rice tires with really tall lugs. My old tires have been bald for years and have been tired of the spinning. I bought new rims because the old rims were rusted out. The paint job from the factory was pretty bad with lots of deep flaking paint. Did the best I could with it. Should have had them sandblasted before hand. But the finish job still looks good but you can definitely see the issues. Didn't have time to add filling primer to smooth out the surface.
Good day Nash Boy that really sounded good. Yes it will a nice tractor.
I didn't see Prince. Thanks
That's sure a nice straight D17.
