This is the wrong color, but it has special meaning for us. This H was Dad's first farm tractor when he started farming on his own. It has done it's fair share of work through the years. It got fresh paint in February.
 This is my 1953 WD that I painted in 2006. I was pretty pleased with the results on it, too.
 This is my Two-Twenty I repainted last summer.
 And now for something completely different, my 1984 Mack that I was stupid enough to trade off after I got it looking good.

Here is the WD45 I painted last year. The fenders got put on after I put the Cab back on.
I hope to get my other one painted this year. As soon as I rolled it out of the shop Luke took me I painted My tractor to match his.

My 1938 WC. This was my first attempt at painting a tractor. It looks pretty good in a picture, but in person the flaws weren't too difficult to find....
 This is my Dad's 400 Farmall in 1993. It was too wet to plant crops, so I kept busy with other projects. I should have used better quality paint with hardener, it is more pink than red these days.....You will notice the Two-Twenty fenders on it, but they are now on my Two-Twenty and painted the proper color. The 400 also has Westendorf loader brackets on it that look, well, tacky.
 One last item is this 1946 Willys Jeep that I fixed up for a friend in exchange for an Oliver 77 Diesel tractor.
 This is what I started with, so I don't feel guilty about the tractor trade....
