Still trying to figure this one out. If there is and easy way or not. As one would expect on these old tractors, the maufacturer's marks and serial numbers are full of rust and paint. once the metal is prepared otherwise the result is being able to see the marking from the contrasting paint left in the stamp mark and the clean metal.
even with paint remover/ wire brushes it's not easy to clean out these spots. mechanical methods might damage the metal leaving more of a free hand carving look. Has anyone mastered this skill?
The markings in the expantion plugs(example) are quite fine.

On Antique cars, when it came to "cleaning up" the original VIN numbers because the frame was pitted from rust, I used to use a small engraver and traced over the VIN number to make it more distinct. I would think it would work on a Tractor as well..... |

Thanks Steve
I had thought about that. Too many years in construction for me. I no longer have fine motorskills, not good enough to engrave anyways.... though I might employ the help of a friend to do that. I just can't seem to get it cleaned out otherwise.
BTW I have those photos of the parts I need...when I get home the camera should be charged so I can get them onto the computer. Edited by Redwood - 16 Apr 2012 at 2:40pm |

I would suspect soda blasting would do it..........but, soda blasters are not common

I am still confident of this;
I will see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. Wait for the Lord; be strong and take heart and wait for the Lord. Ps 27 |
