Painting Begins! | Farmall Super C Restoration Episode 11

Let's do some painting! In this video I prime and paint the main powertrain of the tractor. I explain my process for prepping the metal, what paint & primer I use, my paint gun, and how I set up the shop for painting.

Beautiful. Something about these old tractors getting new life to add to its history and giving it a 2nd chance for another 50yrs to do what it was intended for.

[@rosejohnson452]

Satisfying results. It is the journey....not just the restored tractor. Happy traveling toward the destination of improvement .

[@cecilkoselke7878]

Looks great Pete! Growing up as a kid, we were all red on the farm. When by dad repainted our B with woods mower, he used green CheckRust paint as a primer. Before it got the finish coat, by brother and I pulled a couple of plug wires, and started it. Dad caught us at it, and almost disowned us! Said if you want one of those green ones, go move to the neighbors.

[@hl8256]

That red is what my dad used to call "Breaux Bridge blue" He also called the white rubber boots you see shrimpers wear "Cajun Reeboks". He was from Louisiana

[@survivingmaineona20acrefar77]

I grew up on a Super C with narrow front, still have it,my great grandfather bought it brand new. I have never found another tractor that will perform any better when turning, i think you will be very happy with the change.

[@scottmcd5885]

Awesome 👍 still slowly restoring my 50yo Yanmar. Literally painting as I work on it. Engine rebuilt in place (love sleeves and a good crank lol) painted that.. going to next part... Just terrified to get done. That means sheet metal is all that's left. You're right you can fudge on cast iron but sheet metal tells all!

[@garryames2959]

I don’t know why, but watching your channel relaxes me. Maybe it’s the voice coupled with interesting content. Keep it up.

[@robreesor5011]

The super C sure looks great on either camera but the second camera sure makes it pop for sure...ole girl is looking fantastic.

[@anthonydolezal6627]

Looks great Pete! The Benny Hill music was a hoot! Keep Smilin!!!!

[@bobbailey4954]

I do enjoy your attention to detail as always thank you for sharing can’t wait to hear the old girl run again.

[@sw48093]

WOW That looks good.

[@richardspiger7757]

pigs tractors and cows you have a great channel. thanks Pete look forward to each video

[@jerrycorcoran]

Benny Hill music was perfect Pete.

[@FleetlineSteve]

Looking good Pete. I've painted with a paint gun in one hand and a trouble light in the other many times myself. 😄

[@andrewduff4719]

Pete Id recommend pulling the needle out of the new gun along with take the tip out and make sure you clean the back side. just running thinner in them doesn't clean them out all the way.

[@MrTopcat3333]

I'm a car and truck painter ,. Not too shabby for a rookie ! Great prep !

[@johndeere-yk6db]

Like your channel Pete. Really like how you explain things. Learned many tricks watching you.

[@g.satterfield9422]

Pete I enjoy the tractor build keep up the good work

[@robertpryor9679]

Pete...love your channel and your diversity of farm life. My biggest worry is tjat you are going to run out of tractors to work on....great job and keep up the great work.

[@jcamisa50]

Oooo Pete, so far so good. I like 👍 it .!!!!!!

[@charleselertii6187]

Outstanding Pete! Thanks for sharing. Chuck in Florida.

[@chuckstrasbaugh62]

Loved the video, Pete! And what a difference the camera made with the color! Sure does help to be ambidextrous!

[@wheelloader8176]

Looks awesome Pete 👌 I'm a little color blind so the color matches perfectly.

[@darrellowen6726]

That was... so satisfying.

[@brucehobbs1734]

Got my shirts today. Thanks Pete!

[@phillpotts9047]

Pete...I love the idea that you show EVERYTHING about your Farm including the Re-painting of your old 'Tractors' it shows Farms do have other things to do in quiet times and to get things ready for your next harvest! In-depth mechanical videos are very detailed and very informative to those who feel to watch. Personally I think they are interesting, it just goes to show that farming isn't all about Animals and hey and feed. Thank you and your wife for sharing. 🇬🇧

[@paulk6240]

Very nice Pete! Great progress.

[@mmcc310]

Excellent instructions and job

[@Farmalleric]

Great video it looks great can't wait to see it finished

[@jessicabuckman9675]

Nice job Pete! Way to go."

[@stuartsplace100]

Hi Pete,Ed from Vt.Super C is looking awesome

[@stuartsplace100]

[@tkroyalbeef3501]

Looks great as always

[@billz410]

Beautiful!

[@janrobertbos]

Excellent!!!

[@rociinolte9473]

Looks awesome,great job.

[@robertheflin5446]

Looks good.

[@davidburchfield2720]

Nice work buddy 👏

[@robertlusnia506]

Looks great

[@leanderward6060]

Always enjoyable to watch you Pete it really looks good and I can see the pride in those eyes thank you so much for your time God Bless

[@mikefuhrman458]

As always, a great video. I enjoy watching you redo your tractors. My grandson (8 yrs. old) and I are slowly working on restoring an Allis Chalmers WD. Can't wait to get to the point of putting things back together. Good luck in all that you and your family do.

[@beefchicken]

An old T-shirt, eh? The truth is out! That’s why you wanted all those T-shirts!

[@msw00]

You are a much better painter than I am... looking really nice. I've done a bit of Safety/IH work and you are doing all the important things to protect for painting except the forehead war paint, I don't think its historically correct for the Seneca Nation...

[@husky500cr]

Looks nice. I restore old dirt bikes.

[@patriciabeyer8029]

👍👍

[@toddcaskey9984]

Great job , did you add a water separator to your compressor? Just wondering.

[@HisWayHomestead]

the red looks a whole lot better than the burnt orange primer.... ;-)

[@rmattaliano3614]

Pete!!!!! Just a few "non-Super C guy" observation(s)........and a question(s)...... a) I love the fast motion painting sequence, along with it's soundtrack.....your video editing has come a long way......bravo, bravo. b) I hear that non-PSU, Big 10 tee shirts do a great job of cleaning grease and grime off old tractor parts..................just kidding.....just kidding............................................................(not). c) If the narrow front end is so much more benefical than the wide, 5 mile turn around alternative, then why wouldn't all farmers use the narrow fronts? What good use are the 5MTA models? Please keep up the "Good work". Rich from PA.

[@seantinsley1411]

Did you paint your fenders, hood, seat and gas tank with same paint separate?

[@HisWayHomestead]

Major progress!!! can't wait until it's all painted and running again! You do amazing work Pete! thanks for sharing

[@ethanwoodall8525]

It looked super good couldn't agree more

[@rudyrivera7426]

👌👍

[@davehafso7003]

Crazy how the paint shows so differently from one camera to the next. Nice job!

[@mobayguy]

Hey Pete - Kudos on an excellent job so far with the tractor - Super nice project thanks for sharing the experience

[@timmaslyn]

Great Addition with the Benny Hill reference! Made me chuckle. You do good work Pete, always enjoyable to watch your content. Looking forward to see the new front end in action!

[@7DTD_Zombie_Hunter]

Looking very Nice Pete, thank you for filming this restoration and giving us all a chance to see it come back to live as a beautiful work of art.

[@mzimmerman1988]

I am really looking forward to seeing this put back together! Nice work.

[@andrewsamanthamadison3320]

What a difference the cameras made! I thought at first you were rebuilding Barbie’s tractor! Way better color with the second camera! Keep up the great work on this beauty!

[@lwinnekins4303]

You do a super job restoring the Farmall tractors. My favorite, the "H", brings back a lot of fond memories on my grandparent's farm in the early 50's. Always look forward to your videos.

[@davbzz]

Thanks so much for taking the time to detail your painting process. That info is invaluable to me as there are so many choices out there and I know you have had great success with what you are using. You’re going to love the narrow front on the C-so much easier to steer and maneuver than the wide front. I’m sure you’ll be doing doughnuts in no time!

[@lauriesullivan6552]

I really did enjoy you painting! It really did turn out great!! Thanks for showing it Pete!! Great job!

[@vincentmeyers9365]

Thank you for not apologizing for being normal and doing things the best you can with what you have at the time you have it !

[@MetaMorphea]

YES! My favourite part ❤ Get that paint on and make her look lovely.

[@bearcreek42]

Well done Pete! I've thoroughly enjoyed this series.. Your best build yet imho!

[@steveperyer4850]

Pete, great job explaining about the painting. You made sure to have proper light, to see what you were painting. Many beginners make that mistake, and miss spots because of it. So glad you showed proper ventilation, and masking also. Thanks for the help. Oh yeah, you are so right about the turn in from wide to narrow steering.

[@quicksilver4547]

Man! That looks really good! Good work, Pete!

[@svm409699]

Pete, As you talk to the camera and to the equipment, parts, animals, etc... you remind me of how Bob Ross talked to the camera and his paintings. You are the Bob Ross of farmers!

[@samvalentine3206]

The 2nd camera makes a big difference in the way the red paint appears! It's things like that which you do which make this a special channel. Reminds me of the time I helped a friend paint his 64 Opel Kadett Caravan wagon - bright red like yours! In a garage with a small fan exhausting the air... to this day, we can see the red tinge on the fan blades 50+ years later if I go visit his parents house. One of the only families I know who still live in the same house from the early 60's. Thanks for bringing us along, Pete!

[@Gary-zd1zv]

Keep doing what you are doing. You bring back happy memories of my summers on a small farm in northern Minnesota. Thank you Pete.

[@tommicks53]

Always enjoy your videos Pete. Thanks for taking us along on this tractor renovation.👍

[@tastitas3]

oh my god, the new camera makes a world of difference for the color! Nice work on the super C!

[@josephclark7163]

Tractor videos are my favorite. Thanks again for sharing.

[@4myauto]

Pete, as someone who is working on rebuilding their own farmall, I found your video series VERY helpful! Can’t wait to see yours back together with that new front end! Makes me excited to jump back on mine!

[@williamw7462]

So satisfying. It looks solid and ready to hang parts from.

[@kevind3185]

From what I've seen Paint quality of the Tractors you have done is better then what was done at the Factory. Lots of places were missed at the factory because everything was Red even the belts and hoses. Quality of the paint itself is also way better.

[@samlikely3201]

Is EZRA still black and white and Gray or is he now international harvester red ?

[@jamesking1888]

I love your videos they have taught me a lot. I’m 17 and I’m a tractor mechanic with my granddad we both watch your video and he loves them to . We have a big garden and I have my one we have a about 30 chickens were rebuilding the farm and I like to watch your videos while we do so thank you so much and have a great day.

[@Steventhedieseltechapprentice]

Wow the paint looks great, nice job, Pete!

[@beckyrobinson5672]

Pete I am very pleased with your paint job. you do excellent work. God bless youns.

[@rcclassiccrawlers4368]

Nice job on the paint work and the restoration. Reminds me of when I painted my pickup truck in my garage. Poly everything, wet down the floor and install make shift exhaust fan with furnace filters. Doesn’t stop all particles but better than nothing. And I’ll probably never paint in there again cause no matter how well you poly paint finds a way of getting on things that weren’t intended…lol

[@chadklingshirn1508]

Super awesome 👌 looks great! I would really love for my M to look like that.

[@patkcorcoran]

The time, cost, expertise together is impressive.

[@jeffreyjohnson8212]

Looks great! Can’t wait to see future Super C episodes as you put it back together. As always, thanks for taking the time to share your day!

[@mabdman2140]

That looks beautiful. Thanks for bringing us along.

[@CountryViewAcres]

The Super C is looking fantastic! Lots of good info I will use when painting my Allis Chalmers.

[@montana4939]

WoW , great call on the different camera regarding the deep red differences. As always it just does me good to view your videos, Thank you so much !

[@jorgealfaiate]

Huge progress! Congrats! loved the decision to turn it into a narrow front! Best regards from Portugal!

[@Rumblestrip]

Looks awesome Pete. Cant wait to see final product and hopefully binge watch the rebuild.

[@stanleykeith6969]

Hello Pete, now that you have two paint guns, use one of primer and the New one for Paint. Great Job Pete !

[@JoeBJones]

Excellent. Can't wait for the finished product!

[@ImpHalla66]

I sure appreciate all the video effort you do to share this with us. Painting and setting up camera shots. Great job. The other camera that shows the color better is lacking in the audio department. Love watching these rebuilds.

[@southtexashay]

Yes sir, You did a nice job painting the tractor, Got to love Benny Hill. Have a great day Pete!!!

[@travisbradley9458]

Great video Peete. When you clean and prepay surfaces properly, it always turns out great. It is looking good.

[@markvittorini5163]

Painting especially with a new HVLP (see I learned something!) paint gun, is my favorite part! Yes! The better camera used last definitely shows the best Int'l Harvester red color!

[@rolandpinette9946]

Super job on the Super C, Pete! It's looking great!

[@joerodrigues3816]

Great to see you again mate hope you are all doing well mate Joe

[@normahird9059]

Pete..... absolutely love all of your vlogs. I do really love the ones that you do with your cattle. Your cattle really do like you and Hillary. Happy painting!!!!

[@SuperMAZ007]

I think it was very smart to go from wide front to a narrow front. Obvious reasons and you can keep the wide front to something else. I like how easy it is to follow the steps in this video. If I'm going to start painting again. I will go back to this video and follow the steps.

[@joeromanak8797]

She’s lookin real good so you get one of these: 👍 I have an Allis Chalmers that deserves some gussying up but I can’t warm up to the thought of cleaning off 60 years of that product that farmers always coat equipment with; 2 parts grease to 1 part each of topsoil and hay seed. Perhaps you’ve inspired me. Perhaps not. Anyway, good job. At least one of us will have a nice shiny tractor. 🥸👍 🎨 ❗️✅

[@OldRedTractors]

My 54 super C is a tricycle. I paint in my shop too. You actually get a better job because you take more time in prep and cleaning.
