Hi,
Been a busy chap of late not to many pics either but i will get some tomorrow for you all.
The 362 is complete now with her boots back on, still ineed of a windscreen rubber if any body can help have tried many dealerships ex mf and current mf also independents even breakers we are drawing a blank on a used one will do.
Also got the cab finished on the 35 its a snug fit when your in.
Made a start on the digger also, so that should have coat or 2 of paint on her in the next day or 2 job permitting.
Got the seat cushion kit for the 135 which iam very pleased off very good finish pics tomorrow on that.
Done a few engine jobs of late just done a full engine rebuild on a ih 444 which will be for sale for back to work in its working clothes, the 135 petrol from nz has been sold to one of our customers thats going to a show as it is next month then will return for a full overhaul.
Also we bought a ih374 locally and gave it a full service got it running and painted a few bits to tidy it up just sold that today, will make a nice yard/hay bobbing tractor etc.
There has been mention of the combine also after the next batch of 6 tractors that is due in so i will keep you all posted on that as and when.

Really handy little tractor this one has only done 3k hrs if anything it needs some work it feels really tight i might chuck a drum of diesel in it and give it a good run out to warm her up

Is it a bad idea to put a little bit of 2k hardener in with normal enamel paint? Or could it cause a reaction?

It can sometimes just try a little tester leave it over night do a spray out on something.
You can get a synthetic hardner and make synthetic 2k as opposed to the industial evil 2k that we use.

Also if you want to add a bit more shine and durability to your finish more protection against tree branch scratches
Mix 25% anti scratch laquor into the final coat it will still scratch but it makes it easier to polish them out later.

Try your local panel beaters, I managed to get windscreen rubber for the Duncan cab on my 148 from them.
