I have to finish cleaned up the wheels, wheel centers, and bolster and a few small parts...stuff like the clutch pedal, brake pedals and related parts so I can spray them and assemble this thing far enough it will roll....been on jack stands far too long.

Benny,
How much do you think those frame rails weigh? I have been wanting to remove mine, just wondering if its a more than one man job?
Nice pics too. Quite a trasnformation once you get some consistent color on them. Cool!

They're probably around 100 pounds give or take a few...Im a big boy so I move them pretty easily....and no Austin I didnt sandblast....the main part of the tractor I wire wheeled with a drill and a mini grinder with scotch brite pads(red ones) then alot of the other parts I chemically stripped....works pretty well.

here are some pics of what we got done tonight....my BIL laying down some paint wearing pajama pants...kind of a last minute idea to spray some orange tonight. Also picked up a factory wide front for it too....things are coming together now.
