Paint Tractor Refurbishment

This tractor previously served as a paint tractor for the Tucson Children's Museum. Kids were able to paint the tractor with all kinds of different colors. Restoring this tractor required lots of prep work, including removing the old paint, replacing the tubes on the front tires, and coating rust with Rust-Oleum. This may seem like a simple project at first, but it took several days of prep work and several days of painting, especially since the oil-based tractor paint takes much longer to dry than other paints. All in all, I am very happy with the results, particularly with how factory-fresh the finish ended up being.
