thought i would share these. finally got it finished. i am not real happy with the gray. i think it might possibly be to dark but it is what it is. God bless, eric

Nice looking machine I have never seen a thirty with the side seat arrangement on it I wonder if that tractor was set up to pull a grader back in the day?Thanks for the pics, Jason

Eric,
That is a nice looking Thirty! The color looks fine......something to be proud of for sure.
Have a good day.....Bill

The color looks pretty close to me. It looks real close to the color we are using on our PL20.

I too agree that the color looks fine, you did an excellent job.

Think the 30 turned out greayt!!!
Do you know if over time the paint will lighten or darken?
I would be real happy if I had one that looks that good!
Be proud of your work, it is a great job well done.

thanks smokenrust. as for the fading, i am not much of a painter at all. but what little i do know, it all depends on the paint you use and i suppose exposure to sunlight does help either. i always use some sort of automotive paint and always use hardener as it seems to help. although my tractors stay inside, i have never had any to fade so far. if you are getting ready to paint i would consult someone at your local paint store. if your gonna take all that time in disassymbly and hard work cleaning your machine, do not, by no means, use cheap paint. savin a few bucks is not worth it. regards, eric
