Is there any need to go right through the tractor and paint it , I get making sure it's mechanically spot on but wouldn't it look nice with a coat of oil in its working clothes ? Any way its totally owners choice I respect that and good luck with it
Yes, for now it will be a "fix things as necessary" kind of tractor. Someday when I have time and have a few current projects done this Hart Parr will get a proper paint and full mechanical restoration, but for now we will just enjoy it! I personally stay away from oiling them down, that just makes it that much harder to clean up when it comes time for paint. Remember, cast and steel is porous, if you dump oil on it, you will need to clean it all back out before paint....
That's true about the porous ,when I cover mine in oil it's because I keep them in their working clothes but make them mechanically right, Do you paint all your tractors ? Iam definitely not criticising you just interested Thans Dale
@@daleedwards363 No, I don't paint them all. If you watch a couple videos back the Northern Aged Iron show, that is my 20-35 Allis that we rebuilt entirely mechanically, but left it all rusty and original on the outside.
Excellent job. I've got a few hart parrs and love these tractors.
Nice! Do you have an 18-36?
I love it very cool how you brought it back to life
It is very rewarding bringing a dead machine back to life, thanks!
There it is! The test drive!
Loads of fun!
good work mate, a very nice machine. makes a 20-35 sound like a swiss watch!!
yeah, these two cylinders are a horse of a different color
