How much paint does it take to paint the whole tractor, (frame, under fender pan and hood)? I did a search and found one thread that used a quart on a 318. Sound about right? I plan on doing the 3 coats, Valspar w/hardener.

Nice find.   Lowell Gates Member Username: Lgates110 MO Registered: 11-2006 Post Number: 3361 Posted on Wednesday, May 22, 2013 - 5:53 am:        Nice find Adam! ~~ Lowell   Chuck Van Dusen Member Username: Chuckv OR Registered: 1-2007 Post Number: 6606 Posted on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 - 10:59 pm:        Adam, LOL -- none of the JD lawn and garden tractors match MY patina!! I was 18 years old when the *first* round fender was offered for sale....

They are a bit small and I agree they look awesome behind the RF. I do have a 112 project I recently picked up but it's a square fender. One thing the two pieces currently share is matching patina! Adam   Chuck Van Dusen Member Username: Chuckv OR Registered: 1-2007 Post Number: 6605 Posted on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 - 9:31 pm:        Nice score on the 50 cart Adam!! They are a bit hard to find out my way also, and the one I had went with a little 110 round fender tractor I sold a couple of years ago. The 50 carts look real good behind the RF tractors and also paired with the vintage RER models -- are you going to get a "correct" tractor for it now?? Chuck   Adam Vaught Member Username: Adam_214 MO Registered: 10-2009 Post Number: 1539 Posted on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 - 9:16 pm:        I joined the 50 cart club tonight. Now I have the 80, the 50, the 30, and a 10P. This is another cart that in my area is pretty rare. It's very solid and all there so I'm happy.

I already had it sprayed down w/ PB blaster for about and hour, I went out and grabbed that collar and gave a good yank and off it came! Here are some other pics of this 430 that I picked up this weekend. I spotted it about 3 years ago while out turkey hunting. A couple of years ago I talked to the guy and he wanted way too much IMO for the condition it appeared to be in and the fact that it was sitting outside. This weekend I went and tried again and offered even less than I did a couple years ago and I no sooner stopped talking and he says 'OK'. He even let me use his trailer to haul it home. After checking things over, it only took about 10 minutes of work to get it running. I runs really well after getting the air worked out of the fuel system - - sounds good too. I need to find a new nose for it-or a new hood. The grill is very rough, but I my try to reshape it and get it close to normal.   Roger Henning Member Username: Woodpecker41 WI Registered: 3-2002 Post Number: 8584 Posted on Tuesday, May 21, 2013 - 7:30 pm:        Tony the collar works like an air hose chuck only bigger.
