Tood advantage of the weather and got a boat load of stuff primed. My Squire components are there, as well as extra front and rear rims, one of the Carry All boxes and some extra side panels. I still have some more rims and an AC 8-12 Disc that needs to be primed. I was out of space in my 'booth' and ran dry on primer (had to finish my last rim with a rattle can =])
My hope is to wrap up the other pieces before the weekend, if the weather give me a dry window after work, then I will be getting started on refinishing the 23D and the transmission, which both need a hot bath.

| Be careful using hardner up in an enclosed booth like that. A regular chemical mask will not filter out isocynate hardners. They can react with the moisture in your eyes, nose and lungs. |

| Phil, I spent the $$ and got myself a nice, full face mask/respirator, on the recommendation of my sandblast guy. They aint cheap, but My eyes, nose etc can sure tell the difference. I do have the booth so I can fold up the lower and/or upper portions to allow more or less air flow, depending on the wind. The last two weeks the wind has been fierce, and it ws tough to find a decent day to spray. I wish I had a bit less ventilation! |

Nice booth Josh. Nice paint job too and I don't even want to go into your attachments. Just curious how your wife feels about your acquisitions. |

They are all blending together...but really, I've had more go out the door lately, than in. I have done pretty well moving some things through, mostly non-Simplicity branded attachments. The tractor fund is self-supporting, otherwise, my projects would be cut off =]
I'd like to knock out the Squire & Attachment redo project, then take my time redoing the Single Wheel as summer approaches. After that, time to relax and enjoy them a bit. =] |

Very nice original attachments! I could use a brush cutter like that too. Don't see many of them around here. That saw is a beaut! Amazing it was kept in the box all these years. Nice innovation on the paint booth too.
Jobs well done! |

Looks like you are enjoying your work too. I like it when things come together at the end and you get that nice feeling of accomplishment. I sure am enjoying the weather here too.  |

| Nice collection of stuff! Here I was thinking I was doing great finding a Big Ten with a HiLo and sickle bar mower. Who am I kidding, I'm still pretty stoked! I've been chasing a HiLo for a year. |

Well where's the pictures of that!! That sounds like a great score!
I do have everything painted now, except for the hood and Carry All box. Here's a couple pics of the color...it's gorgeous, and the photos don't do it justice. It's a Metallic Bronze with heavy metal flake. The second pic is tilted a bit to let the metal flake catch the sunlight, but it looks a bit more gold than it really is. The paint is the nicest I've ever worked with. It is going on so easy, and The entire project will only take about 25 ounces. All I have left is the hood and Carry All box, which I hope to shoot this weekend.
