Don't worry, nobody's gonna steal it (just kidding). How extensive a rehab project do you plan?

If you could afford the down time it could be a fun restoration but would take a while.

Good luck with it.

If its in good mechanical condition then all I would do is a good steam clean (not just a pressure washer) and repaint the tin and rims. Do yourself a favor though and take the time to remove everything that you can instead of just masking---it will come out much better. You might even be able to find new badges/decals. Love the chrome stack BTW!

That tractor is in need of a new coat of paint. I had good luck changing the color of my snowblower--after it sat on the dealer's lot for 5 years. I like Rustoleum rusty metal primer for the base. You don't have to be too fussy with the prep.
