* Following Roys Example

Posted on September 5th, 2009 by ploughmyfield. Filed under General.


Rather than taking a rusty tractor to it’s annual outing to the Longshaw sheepdog trials on Saturday 6th September, I’ve followed Roys post below and I’ve painted the back wheels of my tractor. I’ve not done a proper job so don’t look to closely. I still can’t find the money for the new tyres so I masked the back wheel rims Wire brushed them and used a £2 can or grey primer to paint them. I removed the centres and as these had been shotblased I just painted them. They look a so much better than rust! The centres are unusual as they have lots of holes in. I presume for bolting wheel weights to. Someone suggested they where centres from a Ford tractor. Can anyone identify the pattern of holes and match them to a tractor?

A great Follow up from Roy here, It looks as though this tractor also shares the same centres, thanks for the picture Roy.
