    Posted: 22 Oct 2016 at 4:47pm
Well, I couldn't find a B or C with mower, so I've decided to keep the CA and finish the restoration.  I bought some quality PPG paint and have begun to tear her down for sandblasting.  The tractor is mechanically perfect, so the rest is just cosmetic.  I plan an unusual paint job (mostly PO), but with a twist Smile.  Oh, I also plan on larger tires.  Could someone chime in and tell me the largest tire size I can fit on the stock CA rim?  Here is what we start with.

hubnut, the standard rim width for the CA is 10" with a 11.2 x 24 tire.
You should be able to fit a 12.4 x 24 tire on that same rim.
I have installed a 12" rim width with a 13.6 X 24 tire on my CA.
Hope ths helps you!

Got started on the CA.  Sandblasted much of the tractor and put a coat of good urethane PO on her.  I still have some of the tin to do.  I want to knock that out tomorrow.  I hate painting.  Nasty job.

I will reveal soon Creston.  I've only told Sugarmaker my plans.  His reaction wasn't positive.  My tractor, my rules!

I don't think we have to worry about green. That just wouldn't be right! Steve sure is doing a nice job on that CA! Cant wait to see the tin!!

I cannot get over the pains you all take to paint equipment.  It will be  BEAUTIFUL whatever you do.  If Pop saw me do that or try to be that precise I would be walking the streets.
Let us see it when you get done.
Good Luck!

Finished my CA today.  My wife is really understanding about this tractor thing and she loves them too.  She wanted some pink on a tractor, so I obliged.  I think it looks pretty darn good.  Not too much pink--just enough to set it apart.

I like Ginger better this way!  The ole' girl looks great sporting her titty pink bonnet. LOL! Even the wife likes it. She's not sure about those single front wheel Tractors tho. I told her they're safe sorta'....  LOL! Great job Stevo! Now come up to New Joisey to finish my projects. I can't get nothin' done!....  No time.

Looks great! Doing it for the wife. That's great! Shameless is gonna love that paint scheme, but he'll say you missed quite a few spots! Lol!

Only thing I would've done different (If I was going orange and pink) is paint the seat pink too. That way there would be orange and pink on both ends, instead of just one. Just a balance thing.

Either way, it looks great! I wish I could paint that well!  
Wait...I gots a heck'uva great propuzishun fer ya! I'm gonna have a WC to paint after this winter...How's about I give you 3 FREE ham sandwiches, and you come do one of those perfect paint jobs??? All PO#1, but with black wheels please! Wink

Thanks guys for the comments.  I'm officially out of room inside.  The garage has 3 tractors (two Bs and one C) and the shop has the CA shoe-horned in.  If I get another one, it would have to reside in the pole barn--unless I can convince my wife to park outside.  However, I don't think that will happen.

As long as the wife is happy, I'm sure your happy. Great job, even if you took liberties with the color.

Steve,
Well you know your making us look bad completing the complete paint job, new tires and all in less that a month!
It sure stands out with the pink! Did you or the little woman pick the color? Is that Persian Pink?:) I was expecting a little hotter pink! Looks good. I like the orange hood band contrast! Your not going to get those tractors mixed up!
Ok we need you to get them all out, line them up and get us a picture!
Did you get to the Florida Flywheelers show yesterday? Your collection would draw a lot of folks at a tractor show!
I have a similar storage issue with my stuff too. But the wife's new car is in the garage!
So the pole barn can hold another one. Whats next? D series?
Regards,
 Chris

Chris,
Thank you.  I didn't get to the show.  I wanted to finish Ginger while the weather was dry for painting.  We picked the pink together.  I didn't want hot pink, just a subtle pink.  What's next?  Enjoy what I have and take a breather. 
Best,
Steve
