How about suggesting a tool box?
More work for you, and more convenience for owner when tractor put to work

Where is the correct place to fit a toolbox on a 65?

Where is the correct place to fit a toolbox on a 65?

On the main carrier over the throttle linkage

 

[two-cylinder]

Right hand side beneath the battery carrier, top should be about level with the top of the lift pump. You will see the two holes where it fits.

What's that red handle/lever ? Looks like it comes from bottom of tool box
I wonder if I have room there, foot throttle linkage might be in the way

Thats the bracket for the cab the red bit, the tool box is stood off on collars so their might be enough room behind it.

That cab support looks dangerous, could get impaled on that

this is charcoal grey, but is it correct for 300 series? Trouble is I'm comparing wet paint to what is o a 29 year old tractor

sliver mist very hard work, lot of rubbing down bedded

Little tip dont put a heavy coat on with the silver,
Up the pressure slightly and lower the paint flow then apply lightly over a few coats to get the metalic to lay flat it gives it more of a mist look to it.
Its hard to describe but good effort @multi power

Brush them runs down if still wet an a misting over top

I'm told could be either charcoal or stonleigh grey , going off internet photos charcoal looked right

 

[REStracTORATION]

Im sure your 300 was charcoal when i was down

There is a lot more paint on there than I thought was going on, I really need better light

Important to have a good coat of paint on the wheels, they are the first thing to start rusting, especially on a working tractor.
Did you try the sponge technique on the bits that have a little to much (usually around the brackets)? the corner of a small clean sponge, dab the wet paint until it disappears .........
