 Topic: 7060 Makeover
Posted: 05 Jan 2012 at 10:52pm |
Customer brought me this 7060 last week. It had gotten backed into by a forklift about a year ago and he wanted the hood straightened. He had mentioned painting the tractor at some point, but I think the buffing I gave it will eliminate that for a few years. Its a 7060 powershift and has been puttin out 200+ ponies since it was new.

Heres the rest of the pictures. Underhood brackets were all bent, and top hood had a good sized tear in it. What a difference buffing makes Done

I think sheet metal work would be tough to get it to look good and that looks very nice.

Turtle wax heavy duty rubbing compound and liquid turtle Wax. Sheetmetal had a buffer over it, cab I did by hand. I usually like to use the gritty liquid 3M rubbing compound but cannot find it recently. I have given new life to many old tractors this way no matter the color.

Fridge is a homemade job I did by myself. It has a light behind it, and there is also a light inside the fridge that has a sleeve over it which I also painted orange. Can never have enought orange in a shop full of orange. Get a lot of curiosity on that fridge.
