@Poppy7094 Looks really nice!

How many coats of the Cat paint(s) did you put on? (Primer? Light? Heavy?)

All the best,

Peter

Alrighty then, took your advice & sent that sucker off for rebuild by power trac. Great advice! Thank you so much. Can’t wait til it gets back. In the meantime, off to do some more work on the machines.

Just curious about how much did it cost you with shipping?

 

[Poppy7094]

$350

1 coat so far. Kinda heavy. I lack some touchups though but it’s gonna work

Well my pigtail from junction box to engine finally had enough wiring rot and the spades failed. Had to order a new pigtail so more to come after it comes in

Btw, I’ve posted a few “shorts” videos on YouTube under Poppy7094 and the search of PT 1430. There’s a few videos posted there of what I’ve done so far. I ain’t no professional YouTuber so bear with the raw unedited footage

@Poppy7094 that is a nice looking paint job that I am sure will turn a few heads, and perhaps cause some head scratching by CAT aficionados.
Here's a pair of Poppy's videos for those looking;

All the best,

Looks nice. Are you going to put some CAT decals on?

 

[Poppy7094]

Would that be sacrilegious? Maybe?
