Timothy Deese,

It depends on how thick you want the paint.
I like a thick coat, so it usually takes two or three quarts of yellow and one quart of white.


Timothy Bruce,

Welcome to the forum!!!

Like Mike said, you can do it. It is not all that hard to do.
On the main page, scroll down to the wiring diagrams and click on that. Then click on Rolands fancy colored wiring diagrams and scroll down to your model (107).

Tim, as Marty says, one of the variables will be the number of coats and how thick you make a coat. More thin coats is generally better than 1 thick coat.

For the white painted parts I used a grey primer, for the yellow parts I used a red primer. IH didn't use any primer that I'm aware of..

Yellow shows up better over light grey primer in my experience...

Thanks Charlie!

Hey Kraig - Oh Great One Keeper of the Photos - ya I wasn't doing really well for a few weeks and I'm trying to catch up on things now. Hope to be back more often.

Tim Deese and all you painters - as just about everyone on here knows I ain't know professional painter (but my son is). If you want any chance for the famous IH Federal Yellow to provide coverage you MUST use a flat white base coat. I ain't trying to cut in on Charlie's yellow paint sales but if you don't use white first you're gonna need 3 times the amount of Yellow. If you look around hard you can find white primer that is really the best but usually a little costly. You can use grey or red primer but then you MUST cover it with a flat white. I like to use a light grey primer and then sand smooth or even wet sand (depending on the parts), then when I'm ready for the finish coat I hit it with a flat white, let it tack up (usually about 10 minutes) and then go to town with the Yellow. You'll be amazed how well the Yellow covers over the white base.

Dies anyone on here have a Brinly dump cart that's mounted on the back of a cub and could supply me with a picture of how it mounts?

I have a tub that size and want to mount it like a brinly.
Thanks!

David, how about THIS?

 

[dschwandt]

Thanks Kraig!!
So, it DOES mount on a sleeve hitch!!
I thought it mounted through the upper holes in the rear of the frame that the lift arm goes in.

Certainly looks like it will need a ton of front counter balance. Maybe I should just leave the QA42A on board, huh??!!

I didn't intend to confuse anyone by saying I like a thick coat of paint on my cubs.
I do like a thick coat, but as Mike said, by means of several layers.

Trying to put on a thick layer WILL cause runs everywhere.
That is one of my problems, trying to put on too much at once. I have to be real careful on that.

Harry,

How many spray guns do you use at one time? Grey, white, yellow....

I am not disputing your methods, because I have never used white primer.
It would just be difficult for me to spray white primer, and then 10 minutes later spray my yellow.

Rattle cans would work fine, but I have always used a spray gun.
I would have to have two guns, and two of everything. (mixing cups, stir sticks, etc.)

I agree with Steve B. on the light grey primer. A couple of light coats covers the grey fine for me.
Then it's just a matter of how many more coats one wants.
For my type of application (painting method) it seems to turn out as follows: More coats = more shine.
