Nice job Randy. Nice lathe.

Those older machines are true workhorses! 💪

Powder coat is fine. The manufacturer didn’t clean the metal and prep surfaces correctly.

It's under cured and un-primed. Paint is doing exactly that on my 08 Equinox

That can happen with paint or powder. It’s all about the surface prep my friend. However, it appears that bed is suffering from Galvanic corrosion… a bunch of aluminum bolted directly to bare steel…. doesn’t end well for the steel. The prep can be perfect, if galvanic corrosion is occurring, the only way to stop it, is to ensure that dissimilar metals are not touching, not even in the threads.

Remember kids its all in the preparation a crap surface will produce a crap finish 💯

In that case, I think it looks BETTER than it really is.

Powder coat does it when you buy it from a moron who doesn't know how to do it. The problem wasn't the chemical, it was the fool doing it and the idiot who trusted the fool.

Yeah my dump trailer is rotted apart due to that bullshit. Didn't take long either.

LINE-X bro... it's for ever... research it

That's due to bad prep not the powder coat itself

Seen paint do that as well bud …just bad prepped surface

Surface was not prepped properly before it got coated.

And how many people have I told this to and they don’t believe me. When I tell them powder coating is no good outside.

That is not powder coating. All the panels would be warped from the heat from powder coating. You cannot powder coat thin metal like that. Powder coating is baked in the oven.

Like paint, it's all in the prep work

Paint will too if not properly prepped

The question is what sticks better, not how it peels off when it fails.

Very impressive tractor. This is the first tractor I ever saw of this type that was running. I remember seeing one that was sitting on the side of the highway not running. I enjoy listening to gasoline tractors running and even more interesting when pulling. On the first video with the froze up engine I didn't see much hope but now with it running its a very impressive tractor.

Very nice tractor. It's definitely a piece of history.

Time to get yourself a lazer stripper.

I wasn’t prepped right

That is not powder u hard. That is wet paint.

Needle gun, rust reform, sand, prime and paint.

Powder coat is great until it's not.

Lmao, To the people that think they know things they don't, The Powder Coat system is JUNK. Proper prep, with Epoxy primer, and 2K urethane paints SO MUCH BETTER

For All you non experts in the comments.. Paint Will not do that... Why, because all steel Substrates get what's called DTM (also called the E coat)... Direct to metal.. Which bonds with the metal. Even when the paint fails.. the DTM will still be there.. and unless you did something stupid.. like paint bare metal without it or pound on 7 layers of paint in one coat.. Paint WON'T do that... Also Single stage paints can have DTM additives in it and allow you to "No-Prep" bare metal and the paint will still stick to the metal and STAY. It's what's used on most Train cars, Dump trucks, All CAT made vehicles.. Safes, Every ATM in the US... Anything Industrial. Hell.. It's even on Airplanes.. You can sand blast something and go right to powder coating.. Can't use a DTM, or etching primers.. as the part/etc needs to grounded during the coating process, because you are conducting electricity through that part... baked to a cure, recoat, baked again and so on depending on desired results... DTM or etch primers would simply cook (400-450*) off and ruin what's sprayed overtop of them. Automotive paint is cured at 165* for 30-45min or air dried for 24hrs.

Rust destroyer and bed liner👍= tuff shiz it

😅 all about prep have a swing out side that was powered coated 25yrs still looks great 😅

It's typically a prep problem rather than material. I've seen paint so the same thing many times

Metal that is not properly primed for paint will 100% do that

Wow

Cool

Good running tractor for an 84 year old..

I know the video is a year old, but what is the purpose of the chain that you repaired that is high up on the arms? Seems to loose to help with sway, but all the Allis plows I see have this chain and it always seems loose. Great video. Thanks

I got 2 tractors that was worse than the wc and I got them running.. one was a massey harris 101 jr and the other one was a farmall h great tractors

For auxiliary hydraulic function push the right travel lever to the right

Man that flat head doesn't know to stop. Very kool 😎

Good job,what crop will you be planting.

Thats so cool seeing how good the tractor pulls and the dirt looks so rich

Acetone cleans that varnish or good off

That was a great day in Ohio

Pull in 3rdor4th gear

Well that sucks you made it sound like it was going to explode in a zillion pieces you don't have to be over dramatic to get people to watch your video

I Have The Case V

I just stumbled onto your site, great job of fixing the old girl up! One tiny suggestion would be to upgrade the lighting , makes those after dark jobs a breeze and relatively inexpensive...

Nice house❤❤❤🎉🎉

Nice!
