I started this project for fun. I am definitely not a restoration guy or a paint and body man. I began by pulling off all of the sheet metal and sanding it to the bare metal. I also sanded the entire engine and front half of the tractor before I decided I was crazy for doing this. Anyway, I Primed and painted the entire tractor and cleared the sheet metal. Again, I did this under my car port, with a 4.5 inch wire wheel on a grinder (several wire wheels actually). I used Valspar primer, paint and clear. I actually used Spray cans because i thought that the paint would go a long way, boy was I wrong. I have hundreds of dollars in materials. But it was a learning experience and I had fun. I will tackle another one in a different way next time.

Yes Farmall H very nice tractor lots of parts available and a sweet ride altogether,I own 4 of them although I have to say the M is a bit more impressive especially when you are riding down the road 16MPH and 6 feet up in the air whew you can feel the thermals on yer way to the show!
Good choice of tractor though,
