Thanks to the help of my Father in-law and my girls (they are good little wet sanders) we finally got my tractor finished, so I thought I would put up a few pics of her. It is a 1951 WD. It took what seemed like forever to finish, but was alot of fun, and I learned a lot for the next one.

Now, that's a beautiful tractor!
How did you get the sheetmetal so straight and purdy? Did you use body putty?

Looks nice! I have a picture like that of my 2 oldest girls in front of my newly painted WD45, except it was 20 years ago. They will be 25 and 27 years old in a few weeks. Time flies! They are looking/doing real well , but the old Allis needs a facelift/makeover again! Thanks for the photo.

It is just single stage impliment paint from Tracter Supply I don't remember the brand but I can check if you want. The shine comes from the last coat and I'm still learning. The color had to be lightend some to get it just right.
Pete
Now, that's I beautiful tractor!
How did you get the sheetmetal so straight and purdy? Did you use body putty? Thanks Goose,
Yes I had to use some putty, and many hours of sanding. The sheet metal was a little rough and I welded in a few patches and hammered out a lot of dents.
Pete
very nice WD you have there
Thanks Charlie

They helped me do a lot of sanding, and it was a fun project to do together.

Nice Job! Another of my hobbies is restoring muscle cars and I swear it is easier to paint a complete car than a tractor. Keep those pics safe.........you'll enjoy them more in a few years. :)

Why is there never time to do it right the first time, but always time to go back and fix it?

With my father we sold the WD for the life of the unit. I have never seen a new unit look that good.
Congratulations!! Great Job. Good Luck! Bill Long |

VERY nice job Pete! I was showing your post pictures to my daughter ( so she could see what our WD 45 could look like), and she spotted some Webkinz animals. : ) |
