Tractor Restoration - Final Result! McCormick 434 International Restoration 

Thanks so much! Certainly a lot of work but really happy with how it came out 🙂

Dziękuję (hopefully I typed that right) - Thank you! 😀

Thanks! It's been quite the process :)

Thanks! Glad we kept a record of the process it was a worthwhile project :)

There was much debate over whether the original was meant to be white or red, all pictures we looked up were different so went with what I thought was prettiest - lol

When in doubt, go with artistic flare@@CheaperWaysNZ

It's a fact.

Hey thanks for the comment - yes we've still got it, been a bit full-on this last week but will see if we can find some shots or put some up next weekend of the parts you're mentioning :)

Thank you very much

Hey just so you know we haven't forgotten about this lol - been having a full-on time with us all getting sick then Clint in hospital (fine now) but we've just now been looking through footage and can't find a shot of what you're after so will look at taking the cover off in the next week and get some shots & measurements ... I don't think I can post pictures on here but if you either let me know your email or flick me a message on facebook (you can find me via the Cheaper Ways NZ group) I can PM you something

Not sure if you've seen the previous videos but you'll see the whole process - we did sand back and rust-treat the whole thing with CRC Rust Converter Liquid. We bought the paint ready to go and found we didn't need to use thinner with it - it was White Knight Rust Guard primer in flame red (an Australian brand). Really hate using thinners! Does help that we did it at a warm time of year. Did 2 coats of paint on the main body and engine and some panels ended up doing four coats.

Yes definitely - it's been on our to-do list to track some down lol 🙂

Old20tractorparts has Mccormick International 434 decals i will check for other places if they got some too 😄

Cool thanks! Will have a look when we get chance (been distracted with other projects, but you're right we really should finish it properly!)

Hahaha i got ya real good 😆

We got a Fiat 880 DT backhoe loader which i'm working on restoring with dad it runs and is useable but the electricity is mainly dead on it and it is missing a tachometer cable well the list on what it is missing or got broken is sorta long 😅

haha I know right ... rest assured I went back and got it afterwards!
