OK...basically have it all ready for paint! The whole exterior is 'basically' smooth as glass....or brand new metal, I guess.
large picture warning...
I painted the inside of the cabinet with black rustoleum rust-tough enamel...no one is going to see the inside and I wanted something that was going to make sure the rust didnt get any worse
The red circles are a bunch of screw holes that used to be in the frame, but I welded them up and ground them down smooth, looks much nicer now.
the base had some "cratering" in the rust, so I just smoothed as best I could, and Ill just build up the paint really thick
the tractor is made in wisconsin too, about 15 minutes from where the saw was made! Little bit newer than the saw though
cleaned up the whole tensioning assembly, and wirewheeled the ways...Ill put some grease on there and it should work very nicely.
"polished" the wheels
original/old style name tag that still says Crescent on it!
Ill post up more when I get a chance...
