[QUOTE="Nuzzy, post: 1272579, member: 15952"] So, as stated in the Chatterbox, we recently picked up an older Allis Chalmers 912 Hydro. Since I can't leave well enough alone, and since the jeep is currently in a state of completion, here we go with a garden tractor build thread :redneck: While I'm waiting for my new piston, rings, rod, and carb kit to show up, I figured I'd better give the rusty old snow plow some lovin'. After work I swung by Tractor Supply (oh how I love them!) and grabbed some primer and "Allis Chalmers Orange" rattle cans. How it started [IMG]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t135/yzzun/DSC09231Medium.jpg[/IMG] I think only two or three bolts survived intact during my disassembly. The rest snapped from rust abuse :haha: [IMG]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t135/yzzun/DSC09235Medium.jpg[/IMG] Grabbed one of the big grinders from work to help speed things up. [IMG]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t135/yzzun/DSC09237Medium.jpg[/IMG] No this isn't a bad pic... It was THAT hazy :eeek: My lungs suck right now. [IMG]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t135/yzzun/DSC09238Medium.jpg[/IMG] Mmmmmmmm... Shiny... [IMG]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t135/yzzun/DSC09240Medium.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t135/yzzun/DSC09243Medium.jpg[/IMG] After everything got primered and the grinding rust dust settled, I went to town painting. [IMG]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t135/yzzun/DSC09250Medium.jpg[/IMG] [IMG]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t135/yzzun/DSC09252Medium.jpg[/IMG] Prolly did 4 or 5 coats. Would have been better if it was warmer in the garage, but hey, it's a fawking tractor :redneck: I do have one big problem now though. I like how it turned out well enough that now I want to strip the tractor itself and paint the whole damn thing :D [/QUOTE]
