Two things man,
1. It's not a lawn tractor
2. You say resto and then talk about putting crap paint on it.

Wanna start this project again the right way?

 

[Stephen Novick]

I’m confused. What’s crap Paint?

 

[Stephen Novick]

Enlighten me

I’m confused. What’s crap Paint?

Anything other than what's supposed to be used.

Wait what? Cub cadets don’t cut lawns.
Really confused! Did I start a thread where I was not supposed too.

 

[Stephen Novick]

It's a garden tractor.

 

[Stephen Novick]

You have the good stuff there. Hmmmm.

 

[Stephen Novick]

Awesome . But Digger. Don’t know much. But when I go to work every day I have to paint $100,000 dollar restorations. And Brand new Tesla’s . So when I pick a Nissan color it’s only because I matched a color. Only to mix in a Single Stage urethane. But I understand your sending me down the righteous path here. Thank you

 

[Stephen Novick]

Yes it is a garden tractor. Ok so I’m glad you posted those cans. Is that enamel. Or Acrylic enamel

 

[Stephen Novick]

I would like to find the correct hardener to add to that paint. For a lil durability. UV protection

 

[Stephen Novick]

Looks like straight enamel. What do you think. Digger?

 

[Stephen Novick]

Thanks for the pic’s No more Nissan LOL

Cleaned her up today. Soy/ kero mix soaked and power washed. So imagine after I start her to hear how she sounds . I will then take the K321 out . And follow threw with the dismantling.

Who do I buy the motor mount absorbers from? And could someone explain the modification to the motor mount. Fully do not understand. Cut supports off. Or weld them in. I’ve seen posts but lil confused. I found all the measurements. But what is the reasoning for doing so?
