Great video. This auction fixer up series has been one of my all time favorites on your channel. Keep up the great work!

@TractorTimewithTim Год назад

I’m enjoying it immensely as well! Had no idea it would be so much fun. …and I’m learning a lot!

@johnroberts1509 Год назад

It’s amazing how clean that paint booth is! Great video Tim.

@Kcolby47 Год назад

Chris has done it again! What a great job. Also gives one an appreciation of what good body work entails. They are artists indeed. Blessings to all.

@tombarnes1871 Год назад

I’ve painted a few cars. Chris has some very good painting techniques!!!

@hughhead9079 Год назад

Awesome... Developing new skills and friendships is priceless.

@jeffreykoldyk3106 Год назад

Hi Tim, I had the same issue with the interior plastics in all my Deere cab tractors. What I use now is a product called "oil eater" orange spray and a fine 3M scour pad. It might not remove all stains but in my experience it spruces it up quite a bit. It works good for the dash as well. Hope this helps you out!

@dustoff1472 Год назад

A real professional showed us how to do it right. Enjoying the channel. Tks for sharing.

@danielrapoza8468 Год назад

Tim That was a lot more work than I was expecting. What a great job. This gentleman is an artist in the industry. Very impressive. Thanks for sharing. Dan

@adammiddleton4037 Год назад

Wow! I have a whole new respect for Chris! I can tell you this type of work is extremely tedious, and time consuming. He obviously enjoys doing it.

@henrycarlson7514 Год назад

So wise , Thank You .

@dpsears240z Год назад

That newly painted roof will look amazing in upcoming drone shots.

@timraber6575 Год назад

The top looks great. It’s great to have neighbors that will help you out using skills they have perfected over years. Chris’s clothing reminds me of Jay Leno’s. He most always wears those wrinkled blue denim shirts. One of my favorite channels is Jay Lenos Garage. He has even featured tractors several times. Maybe you should send him a picture of Johnny X!!!!!!!

@lostnwalmart9110 Год назад

Certainly overkill haha, but a great learning experience and it can be cheaper if you are only paying materials and have the skills/equipment. But once you add in the shop rate it is likely that this would come in more than a new roof. That being said neighbors helping neighbors is always a great thing to see, and if you enjoy them it can be quite fun for everyone as well. That looks like a great little hotrod restoration shop they have there I dream of a similar setup one day.

@jackriley4104 Год назад

When I had the JD dealership, we would patch the crack sand the whole thing and two JD rattle cans and it would look like new.

@michaelfinney2160 Год назад

Looks great ! Love the paint booth, cleanest one I’ve ever seen, about like a surgical operating room ! Makes for a better paint job I’m sure. Have a Blessed Day

@amossnowdaharleyman9179 Год назад

Also, most of my paint jobs on tractors and equipment are a SOLID 10. From 10 feet away they look pretty dang decent.....

@kevingebert4316 Год назад

That's nice to see the way those car restoration painter guys take pride in all of their work. Might be over the top for that piece but looks like regardless of the part being worked on he doesn't cut corners. I just do the poorman's rattle can method with thin layers. Certainly not showroom worthy like your roof is gonna be when done. It might be too nice to drive by low branching trees now.

@photocontrol Год назад

That's an awesome paint booth set up! The cab roof looks great!

@On_The_Farm Год назад

Looks nice Tim, but I think for anyone but you, this project would cost far more than a new roof.

@davidlinux Год назад

Totally agree. I would have messed up so bad on the cheap way that I would have to buy the roof anyhow. 😂

@nickolaskunz5735 Год назад

Sure if you rent a paint booth, the stuff he used to patch it and a rattle can would work too, if all you’re worried about is sealing the crack

@wink9970 Год назад

Chris in a button down fixing fiberglass and painting speaks volumes.

@OO-by2jl Год назад

He makes it look easy!

@Drew-in-NoDak Год назад

Sure you could have got away with the cheap rattle can job. But personally I think Chris had a lot of enjoyment and showing us the viewer his talents. I learned a lot watching him, thank you Chris.

@josephdriscoll8527 Год назад

Looks as good as new, I've used that phrase too many times on my open station roof as I repaired cracks and corners broke out. I stayed in the $100 range each time, not as nice as your repair for sure, thanks for sharing.

@aoverhage5181764 Год назад

I had great luck with spot repairs of the JD rattle can paint and wet sanding to blend. If I didn’t get overspray on the filler you would never know!

@johndavis7273 Год назад

Looks good!

@unclealansyard5176 Год назад

Sure it's over kill, but it was great seeing such a detailed process and learning something new! On the note about the blue shirt, my grandfather would always wear green dickies work pants and a white t shirt. Somehow with all the work he did, he kept it mostly clean.

@Iamkcs2c Год назад

Interesting and worthwhile to see how a top-notch paint job is done. Though i agree it would have been cool to see what you can do with a rattle-can.

@Blast357 Год назад

how about a super clean done by the car detailler ? they really clean things i thought they were goodfor scrap lol... just an idea.

@aprilgeneric8027 Год назад

the dirty spots are stains by something that reacts with the plastics material and the plastics when it is done reacting takes that color permanently. could by hydro fluid, or some other oil based fluid. i had some engine degreaser made by GUNK that reacted with the paint on my deere fender pan, even tho i only used it on the engine, i pressure washed it off, and where ever the degreaser pressure washer with dollar store soap landed, it really did a number on the paint of the fender that dulled and whitened the paint in all the foaming soap shape wonder.

@tomhill4044 Год назад

Very nice job. Will look good for a very long time

@BobsOutdoorActivities Год назад

Wow very nice! Hey, Brooks Brothers shirts are good work shirts.. depends on your work haha You can tell your friend Chris takes pride in everything.

@williamfenner9915 Год назад

I know that you would be happy with the rattle can method, but it probably will be better than the OEM paint. I am very sure that you will be happy with the outcome of the project.

@Rickshaw103 Год назад

that's a really nice paint job!

@toddh3774 Год назад

The only problem I can see with this approach is that the roof is going to look so much better than the rest of the tractor. I know that would probably drive me crazy (waiting for you to get the same conclusion) and would end up having to get all of the body panels painted and at that point this thing would really be show room ready HA!!

@coypatton3160 Год назад

I had the same thoughts as I watched. With that shiny roof, it will not look as good once on the tractor. If it had been me doing the repair, it would have maybe gotten a rattle can paint job.

@janskoropinski10 Год назад

What about the rest of the tractor? Won’t it be jealous?

@MJF40 Год назад

Yikes ! Think of the scratches soon. 😅 Looks darn good now though 😁

@petenolte4192 Год назад

It all depends on how long you plan on keeping it

@jamesberg3106 Год назад

Thank you for bringing a bit of sanity to life. Nice Mickey Mouse voice Tim

@randywhelan8944 Год назад

Cheap is cheap and going to cost you more in the long run. I'm with Chris do it the right way the 1st time and be done with it. And besides he just raised the value of the tractor for you.

@GDonut23 Год назад

Tim, if you paint the plastic side pieces the paint would likely chip over time. You could dye them a different color or even black.

@BG-vq9fd Год назад

I think there is more than the cost of a new one. Witch might be ok if the rest of the machine was pristine. Is new one already green?

@randallthomas5207 Год назад

This is good, but how about a series or watch list on actually repairing the panels on a tractor. And, as a suggestion, run your insert through the dishwasher a couple of times.

@shadlundquist2329 Год назад

Go over the old plastic with a heat gun. Start underneath to see the results.

@randallthomas5207 Год назад

When I was a young man, i worked in a couple of body and fender shops, and got pretty. My roommate was a mechanic, and wanted to learn how to fix cars up beyond the mechanicals. He bought a 1970 Nova with a stuck choke and 130k-miles on it, got it running pretty good, and we cleaned up the body and put a fine metallic silver paint job on it. His brother in law owned an upholstery shop, and showed him how to redo the interior. We had done a good job of polishing up a mess of a junk car. His brother dropped by with a new girl friend, and she got absolutely livid, because he wouldn’t sell her the car.

@phild9813 Год назад

A craftsman can’t help but do it right, regardless of what it truly needs. Should have had him do the whole tractor lol

@jeffreycurrie3410 Год назад

Chris is a great talent, I guess he shouldn’t have wasted his talents serving the citizens of Indiana. JK

@leamanwall8626 Год назад

Tim I think the finance committee is going to be with you all the time after you brought a tractor with out approval

@philsmock4943 Год назад

Why is the paint booth floor wet? I'm sure there is a very good reason. I just would like to know. Thanks for sharing Tim.

@TractorTimewithTim Год назад

Yep. Makes it easier to get the fresh paint off. Walls are wet too.

@amossnowdaharleyman9179 Год назад

Way over the top on the repair of the top (pardon the pun) but it was interesting. Chris is top notch on his work: tractors are handy but they aren't a 100K collectable classic car. But like I said it was most definitely interesting to watch.

@noelstractors-firewood57 Год назад

Would a new roof be painted. Or would you have to paint it. Looks great.

@TractorTimewithTim Год назад

Already painted.

@berkoskilandscaping4247 Год назад

What did Chris do as his career?

@TractorTimewithTim Год назад

Too broad of a question for me to answer. He has done a BUNCH of things, All while working 2 full time jobs. Crazy. Maybe I should interview him on that sometime. Would not be easy

@berkoskilandscaping4247 Год назад

@@TractorTimewithTim that would be very interesting. Seems like he has a lot of knowledge.

@lilredcummins Год назад

Haven't painted any vehicles or spray gun quality stuff in over 30 years. I've never used 600 on a primer coat. That is really high end picky-picky work. It is going to be sad the first time you scuff the canopy on a tree branch.

@DKWalser Год назад

No pin-striping?

@TractorTimewithTim Год назад

Hmm…thinking…

@jdfleetguy28 Год назад

To be honest watching the first part of this video, I thought you were going custom shooting for a classic Deere yellow top look. Lol I like the original green just fine.

@fullers1966 Год назад

You'll stick it back on the tractor and you'll end up having to paint the whole tractor just to match the roof

@rinardman Год назад

Now you won't want to get within 50 feet of any trees with low hanging branches. 😧

@jims3204 Год назад

What is the name of the car restoration shop you're at? Feel free to DM if you don't want to announce publicly.

@TractorTimewithTim Год назад

Not even sure it has a name.

@Chris-jh3tg Год назад

Lord love your buddy, but he didn't seem too polished.

@TractorTimewithTim Год назад

Polished????

@Itsa_Mea Год назад

This isn't an insult; But there's a right way, then there's a farmer's way. Sometimes good enough is fine. With professionals, there is do it right or don't do it at all. There's no way in heck you'd talk that man into a rattle can job. No way!

@davidchapin8297 Год назад

I disagree with you and agree with Chris. If a job is worth doing it is worth doing it right. Yes it may be a little more expensive but the end result is worth it.

@ZILAwelds Год назад

No base coat clear coat?!? 😂😂😂

@TractorTimewithTim Год назад

These guys seem like experts. I was just following along.

@ZILAwelds Год назад

@@TractorTimewithTim just teasing you. These guys were going over the top already … wet sanding primer on top of the roof that no one will ever see on an agricultural piece of equipment …. That is why i said : no base coat clear coat …. With 3 layers of clear on top … lol
