Hayleyd helped out today. She wad priming the nicknacks :lol: Its all the little pieces to small to shoot with a paint gun.

You ever shoot alot of primer to see you missed a spot of grease? :shock: WELL I DID

Im not going to get upset just spend more time and do it right or atleast better :lol:

 

[prwttsh]

A little spot of grease isn't too bad. It just keeps you on your toes

 

[bertman]

Finally it cooled down a little. Got the tires off the rims and getting ready to be sandblasted. Hope to start cleaning a little more and then start sanding the primer on the sheet metal

 

[Guest]

The heat up here has sure slowed alot of projects. I know I'm behind on some. Glad your back to the forward progress

 

[WyattB]

She does appear to be the hardest working person in the pictures. What are you going to do with the WC Breann?

 

[breann99]

As soon as we get it painted and together i'm going to use it as a show tractor and parades. Bertman is a great helper and teacher :roll: he don't work fast in the heat.

Sorry its been so long!!
Me and bertman (dad) started to sand the primer.Since the weather better we been chipping away at getting it ready for paint.
We got hood, grill, rear fenders ready for paint. Front and rear rims will be ready this weekend.
Dad picked up a set of free tires for the rear that will be mounted after rims are painted. I am forgetting somethings but dad will clue you in later.

 

[Guest]

No problem young lady. Just glad you two are gettin some time together again to work on it. Sounds like you've got alot done and ready for paint. You know we'll all be waiting to see some pictures when you can post a few. Wish we could come across a set of free rear tires. We're needing some 24" for Colin's Allis 'B'.
Thanks for the update......................................................................

 

[bertman]

Well.. :shock: I got the tires free because I had a friend in the right place at the right time :lol:

Ron I will look for a set of tires for you!! They are pretty popular here on irrigation and sprayer tires. 11.2-24 if I remember right

The ones I got for free are 13.6-24 and are pretty bald but good for pulling :roll:

Let me see what he has and will get back to you. Should be back down that way in a couple weeks.

Breann,
How are you and Dad doing on the WC?
As I look at your pictures it reminds me a lot of where I am right now. I have the side frames of the WD and need to start cleaning and repairing leaks.
Your pictures have helped me to see that there is light at the end of the tunnel. I like those WC's. There was a nice restored one at the local show this summer and it was for sale.
I like the work that you did on the grill restoration. I may have to check at Lowes for that expanded metal.
Hope things are good.

 

[bertman]
