I started painting the items I was working on as follows:
- dismantled the front end and painted it while working on the steering
- painted the fenders and wheels while adjusting the width of the rims (to mop down less hay)
- painted the operators area while replacing gauges, and welding on the PTO guard
- painted portions of the engine while the hood was off for work on the thermostat and belts
