Been watching your channel for a while now. Truly incredible the way you are transforming and rejuvenating this old Iron. You and your dad are master craftsmen for sure.
You mentioned having to tighten the rim clamps on the Super M three times. That is actually a good idea even if you are not painting the clamps and rims. When I had to replace a rim on the M that we had, I kept the wrench with the tractor for a week. The clamps had to be retightened several times before they quit loosening. I would drive about 15 minutes and get off to tighten the clamps. After they seemed to be stable, I rechecked every day for a week. For the first 3 days, I would get just a little more on some of the nuts but after that they stayed tight.
You can use all the lacquer thinner You want on that cast. Iron frame, but if you're going to put Iron-Guard. Cheap oil base paint on that tractor it's not going to stay on there long
As a painter that has usd this gun I would recommend having at least one rebuild kit mostly for replacement seals and springs or at least getting a replacement o-ring kit as having them on hand has kept projects moving forward. Also I really appreciate that you pay attention when slinging paint.
An HVLP gun usually needs 10-15 psi, right at/behind the nozzle (basically what is called the "air cap"). On most guns, you can only adjust the pressure where it feeds into the gun (like you are doing with the regulator). There is a pressure drop between the regulator and the air cap - on some guns, this difference is very low, on cheaper HVLP guns this can be relatively high (25-30 psi). You are going to have to play with the gun to get the right setting - especially with the newer guns which are much more sensitive. Unfortunately, you can't just set the regulator at one pressure and forget it, things like humidity, temperature, barometric pressure and altitude above sea level all affect the gun - so every time you use the gun, you have to dial it in. It would be nice to be able to write down all the settings of the gun so that it always sprayed the same, but in the real world it doesn't work like that. Don't get me wrong, it will get you close - but you still have to fine tune the gun in order to spray the best pattern for your conditions. It just takes time in order to figure that out. You might look up gun setup videos for guidance, I think Paint Society has one, there are others.
Suggest regulating your air pressure down closer to spray pressure before it gets to your gun regulator. Will lessen the initial high pressure blast when you pull the trigger.
The facial expressions while sliding the door shut behind you were of Rowan Atkinson skill! The tractor is looking good. Weather looks nice. Great video.
Thanks for the update Toby! Preparation H is coming along. Hopefully good news soon on the head to get the engine going as well. Paint looks great! Can’t wait for the next video!
I never really noticed the resemblance you have with Sr. until recently and especially in this video. I think it’s more apparent the older you get. My point being is that it’s really cool to see you guys working together on shared passions and allowing us viewers to participate vicariously. I’m sure a lot of your subscribers are father/son duos as well and will continue the tradition that you and Sr. exhibit here.
I was actually thinking about the "wastefulness" of that spray gun, a bit before you mentioned it. But then it dawned on me: you need a mixing cup anyway and the liner doubles as such. you don't need a filter screen, because it's built in to the lid. So the only extra waste you generate, is the lid and the nozzle assembly. BUT you also save a TON of solvent, which you would normally need to meticulously clean the front end of the gun. So it's probably a toss-up, or at least close, between the two methods.
Years ago I did a full restoration of one of our old family tractors. Got down to the last part of doing the paint job after nearly 3 months of work to get everything torn down and rebuilt or replaced. I did a two-part epoxy paint job to make sure it would be durable and last for decades because we never had a good-looking tractor ever so I wanted one that would look good for years to come. The paint had a 72-hour full cure time, but a certain family member absolutely had to have it to cultivate tree rows less than one day into the curing time (Trees that had not been done for years somehow absolutely had to be done then.) and of course, had to scratch the crap out of the whole tractor in the process. It's been about 20 years now and the scratches look as fresh as the day he put them in it. People like that are why we can't have nice things.
I have the "other" color of older tractors, but like to watch you work on these. The "how to" ideas are essentially the same. You have nice, calm days where you are. We have 2 days per year like that, otherwise the wind is blowing 10+ mph (northern Iowa). Thanks for the videos.
Just want to let you know, you are doing a great job on the H, we have done quite a few tractors over the years, and I have a Drone and the editing of these video's as you know is more time consuming, and as hard of work as the restoring is, my hat is off to you sir. Very enjoying to watch! Thanks for putting the time and effort to show us this project.
Liking that air hood! They're a real blessing. I'm hoping on an axial compressor, not piston type but perhaps filtration of the oils has advanced far beyond when I wore a hood.
Outstanding! Glasses are a pain. I went to contact lenses in the mid 1980s. What a difference they made and I've never looked back. Contact lenses aren't for everybody and there are some problems they can't fix but if they are a potential fix they are definitely worth trying.
@@squatch253 OK - I was the opposite, way better with contacts than glasses, getting the peripheral vision back a huge plus when I was younger and playing sport. Now in my late 60s for the last 10 years or so have to use reading glasses on top of the contacts. Was never brave enough to have laser surgery.
Great work. These days I have been working with my friendly collision repairer to straighten and restore a 1962 electrical box for a milling machine. Refreshed the old skills and learned new tricks. Why not practicing with one more craftsmanship when you're juggling with too many already!
If you’re using the disposable cup inserts, attach the gun to the cup like you did then pull the trigger until some paint comes out. It’s pulls a vacuum on the cup and it can then be used in all positions!
Toby, I was using my HVLP paint gun spraying a Cerakote product wearing my eye glasses. Paint specs landed on the lenses and dried. Didn't notice it at first until the next day. That product could not be removed from the lenses. I had to replace my eye glasses. I'll take your approach next time.
I see you are a top down painter. In the boat yards we painted bottom up. The thinking was that the airborne particles would land in fresh wet paint and be absorbed. Been painting that way since (about 55 years) and it mostly works fine. My best guess is that it may not really matter ...
It's great to see paint going on. I find this part very satisfying because it the end is coming. New spray guns are a pain to set up, I usually use two, one for primer and the other for topcoat as they have different size nozzles. I've been using those paint cups for a while and won't go back to the cups that come with the gun.
I cut the corner out of a 1 gallon ziplock bag to cover the gun and cup entirely. Cuts down alot on the cleanup of the gun. I got my 3m performance set last year and as a hobbyist i love it. I also reuse the nozzles as much as i can. Really slick!
Great job Toby. And thanks for all the information on the 3mpaint gun. Was thinking about buying a new one before we paint the Massey Ferguson baby tractor (lawn). My wife had a plethora of questions about how it worked. Now I'm Considering buying one! Keep buying 3M products! Stock on the rise by those 3M products Toby!
@@squatch253 Thank you sir I do appreciate the information I'm looking hard at the 3m painter I love the part where you can just throw away the tips and put another one on. Tom
Great job as always! The best part of those disposable cups IMO is that if before you start spraying , leave the gun upside down and squeeze the trigger. That will suck all the air out of the top of the cup until there is no headspace then it will start spraying paint. From that point on, the gun will spray in any orientation. Super useful when painting the underside of a tractor. I painted my WD9 last year and it made getting the undersides of everything MUCH easier without the spitting when using a gravity only cup gun.
Take care of your comfort and safety, wear what you feel comfortable with. To all the naysayers live your life the way you want, and leave others alone!
My grandfather had a '57 Ford Sunliner (the hardtop convertible) that was originally red, but more like the primer, and he had it resprayed to a bright red that I remember being just like that H red.
I appreciate you mentioning your non-standard reasoning for doing certain things. I.e. the hood to protect your glasses rather than strictly for fumes.
Awesome video the fresh painted H looks really nice and shiny will that type of paint stay shiny or will it fade out as it dries . Keep up the great videos
Nice vid! I appreciate the tarpaulin opening and paint stirring sequences, quite satisfying. And the result is beautiful of course. The project is really coming along nicely 🙂
Fantastic video Squatch! The H is looking great. I'm willing to bet it going to look as good as seniors tractor. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers
That looks great. Whenever you get a new spray gun it's like a new friend you have to adjust to it . Before your done with the tractor you will have the new spray gun the way you like it. It's a learning process. Denis from Santa Rosa CA
Lol I love the project name I laugh every time I see it looks awesome I bet it looks even better in person too camera’s just don’t show things to true life thanks for sharing
So, only recently started watching and maybe someone else has asked too. Where do you get the blue towels/shop rags ? My source doesn't exist any more . Oh, I enjoy the series because my dad had both an M and an H , late 40's or early 50's I'd guess. Learned the principles of driving on those machines.
Google search for "Blue Huck Rags/Surgical Towels" and you'll find a few sources to buy them - it'll be exactly what I'm using here, only some of mine are also green. I'd just post a quick link, but unfortunately the algorithm here will auto-delete anything that takes people away from RUclips.
The reason reds don't come well on camera is that most digital cameras compress red and blue colour channels to about half what is available in the raw data.
I'm your 666th like!😈 Good spraying, Toby you make it look easy but it's a very skilled job. That red really pops, such a satisfying result. Take care from Cambridgeshire in the UK!
Been watching your channel for a while now. Truly incredible the way you are transforming and rejuvenating this old Iron. You and your dad are master craftsmen for sure.
The red is looking good, buddy! Will look real sharp parked next to the Suicide H!
Even though the air fed hood may not be “needed”, it’s always a good idea to use one. Case in point; the overspray you mentioned.
That bright shiny red pain looks awesome! It will be a super sharp tractor once you get it all put back together😃
That looks really good! Your paint prep work is the real star of the show. 👍

Good video. With Senior's supervision 😉 the H is going to be looking pretty sweet.

The tractor is looking good. Weather looks nice. Great video.
Annoying thing is that Squatch makes that look so easy🙄😳👌 superb job preparation H is gonna be another head turner 👍
I have say, I like the red hue (over spray) look on the front yard ... Ask my neighbors, some still call me over spray.
What was mom planting?
Always fun to check the background out.

My life…work with and on tractors and heavy equipment all day, then come home and watch Squatch work on tractors and equipment. 👍👍
It's nice to see that you found a use for the old prison uniform shirt. I think it's perfect justice.
The red paint stands out just like it should. Probably one of the easy paint jobs when things cooperate.
I have the "other" color of older tractors, but like to watch you work on these. The "how to" ideas are essentially the same.
You have nice, calm days where you are. We have 2 days per year like that, otherwise the wind is blowing 10+ mph (northern Iowa).
Thanks for the videos.
What a cherry red, even after the gopro adjustment!
🤪
Hope you got your garage doors cleaned from the overspray again...
😂
Thx for showing!

Whether you need the hood/respirator or not, it’s better out than in
That tarp looks like you painted the other Farmall on it that you guys restored last year have an excellent day
Watching what you did with the Kubota,the various whatzits to lift the heavy bits. Whatever works.
Nice vid! I appreciate the tarpaulin opening and paint stirring sequences, quite satisfying. And the result is beautiful of course. The project is really coming along nicely 🙂
Great video. I need to learn this as I have turned the corner on my 66 140 and need to be able to paint it as it goes together. Thanks for showing us.
Fantastic video Squatch! The H is looking great. I'm willing to bet it going to look as good as seniors tractor. Looking forward to the next video. Cheers
So relaxing to have a nice meal while watching you spraypaint metal parts! You guys did a great job, the final result will be beautiful!
You are a driven man...Love what you do

I like that you are using the hood and respirator setup. Especially when you have been spray paint all day.
definitely looking into that paint system. so much easier.
That looks really good
That one is going to turn out great. Anything you do I know it's right. Good job as always Toby thanks.
Lol I love the project name I laugh every time I see it looks awesome I bet it looks even better in person too camera’s just don’t show things to true life thanks for sharing
I hope you don't have the little "noseeum" bugs that always commit hari-kari in your finished coating when you paint outside.
I loathe those things! We are in South Carolina and we have them by the millions.
Awesome video. Keep up the great work!
That mask you ware keeps the lungs and face clean.
I use spray at 12 or 13psi. I haven't sprayed anything for a few years.
If the wind is going the wrong way you might get a pink house! Good job!
nice paint. looks good. love the H' S AND M's.
Great video, I have been watching your videos for awhile now. I admire your great knowledge, attention to detail, so organized ! Enjoy watching. 👍🏼
Looks fantastic, what more can I say
Good looking hope the rest turns out great
Great job , great info , keeping it real , and love the new equipment , thank you shout out to Senior !!!

Looking good Squatch!!
So, at the conclusion of this video you were painting with 10 psi. Thanks for the guidance. 😊
I was gonna suggest lowering the air pressure then you said that with hvlp guns it takes a lot less pressure than one would think
Looking great!
