Corn picker 95% done! (Pics) question on paint

   We always had either Oliver or New Idea pull type pickers and you were some distance from all the dust and trash except when the wind blew wrong. I would think after a day of running an AC your eyes and nose would be full of dirt and dust. It would be hard to get away from it.

	I wonder how long the headlights will last, they look like the first thing to go.

	Dang, thats sharp! I'd leave it the way it is myself. Just wondering, how hard is it to steer? The one picture looks like you are really working the wheel. AaronSEIA

	I think Don's intention is to leave it on the tractor from now on and never take it back off! LOL! Jim...I don't know what Don used to shine the picker up with,but I always use WD40...it'll shine things up in a hurry and last a good while as well. Rick

	Here are a couple pics..... Heres my question, would you repaint the engine side shields, or leave them alone? The rest of the picker won't be re-painted (Except air cleaner top and front mesh grill screen).
