    Sandblasting sheet metal

    I've read on multiple posts that you shouldn't sandblast sheet metal for fear of warping. Just trying to learn, what causes the sheet metal to warp? What is the minimum thickness the sheet metal should be in order to safely sandblast? If sandblasting is the only option, are there any useful...

    Post Primer Cleanup

    Im a bit embarrassed to admit that I wasnt planning to sand anything because I wasnt aware I needed to. This is my first painting project so Im still learning. So that may be a secondary question. So first of all, what kind of wax and grease remover do you use or recommend? I used the Van...

    Post Primer Cleanup

    Last fall I was able clean my parts and get primer on everything. Winter happened so without a heated shop I had to pause. Other projects jumped ahead this spring. I now have some parts that are dusty and others that are dusty and have spots of WD-40 on them. Do I just use the pressure...

    Super C won’t start, oil in exhaust

    First thing first. I came back to read the posts and I see one from a Gene Bender. I get shocked and excited at the same time. Gene Bender was the name of the guy that restored this tractor 20 years ago. So I have to ask, are you the Gene Bender from the Iowa City area? If you are, you'll...

    Super C won’t start, oil in exhaust

    I have a Farmall Super C that has always started hard. It is still on the old six volt system and want to keep it that way since it was grandpas first tractor he bought when he started farming on his own. It sits a lot and doesn’t get run except during the summer, and only a couple times...

    Paint Procedures

    I'm working through surface prep still based on feedback I've received. I did a lot of grinding on every surface and got down to a lot more bare metal. I've started with the phosphoric acid and after watching a few videos they all show you how to get it started and make it look so simple...

    Paint Procedures

    So based on the picture is sounds like I should try to find and use some phosphoric acid? That'll be a new experience. I like the idea of the Tremclad but clearly I need to do some more research on how to find it and get the correct colors. I'm not looking for showroom so sounds like sanding...

    Paint Procedures

    I’m looking for a lot of help. I have an old sickle mower that is torn down and sandblasted. I’m trying to step up from rattle cans. I have recently purchased an HVLP paint gun kit with a few different sizes. I’m looking for all info on procedures to paint. Do I need to do anything to prep...

    Farmall U-28 Sickle Mower Paint Color

    I am in the process of refurbishing a Farmall U-28 fast hitch sickle mower. Any thought on what colors it is supposed to be? Have seen a few pictures of all red, or a few with a blue sickle bar and everything else red. Some of the main frame looks like it used to be blue but hard to tell...

    Farmall 2-Point Sickle Mower

    After searching for the U-F28 online it looks like exactly what I have! So as I understand this, with the arm mounted up high like this as the 2-point is raised and lowered that will raise/lower the cutter bar as well? Any chance you don't have those dimensions anymore and could pass them...

    Farmall 2-Point Sickle Mower

    Thanks Everyone for the help! I don't have the bar that goes up to the rockshaft but have talked with someone in Illinois to try and get a picture or dimensions to try and make one. I'd still be curious to find a manual for it. Based on the attached picture, do I still need the axle mount or...

    Farmall 2-Point Sickle Mower

    So is this truly a C-24-P mower? Does anyone have a manual I can buy or find? You say it mounts below the cylinder, any idea what it mounts too? I am open to any ideas if you have an idea where it should go. I don't know that there is anything under the cylinder unless I build a new bracket...
