On my tractor I've spent the last week taking parts off it to paint and I found another one where they just painted everything. That would have been a lot easier don't you think.

Quality workmanship. Wonder if they prepped it. Or washed it.

I woukd at least make an effort to cover what i couldnt remove.

You would be surprised what paint will stick to. Painting another tractor I ran across several spots I thought someone globbed bondo on and never sanded it. The globs turned out to be dried grease and dirt. I had gone over the tractor with a degreaser and a power washer and the spots didn't come off. No telling how many years the grease had been there.

Bet there was no rust under the grease.

Rule one: if it does not move, paint it.

Rule two: if it moves kill it then see rule one.

That pic is on an eBay ad right on the side of this thread.

I see alot of people who in an attempt to "freshen" stuff up before sale just paint everything with no regard for overspray.

Yes you are right the picture is off ebay. It's a B5200 4wd for sale. Since I have a B5200 I search ebay every day for things B5200.

The B5200 I have the only thing I haven't removed to paint is the dash. I've tried it before but can't get my hands inside to remove the gauges and wiring and then remove the steering wheel. I'll probably paint it in place again.
