[crazyredneck5674]

Turned out real good nice work

[donyboy73]

@crazyredneck5674 thanks man

[donyboy73]

@fordmustang1234 you did an awesome job!

[donyboy73]

@fordmustang1234 hi, i only did what the owner wanted

[pivotboy63]

what did this cost the customer in total if you don't mind me asking?

[duranate]

wow, nice work!

[slowride55]

My neighbor has a 317, 318, and 420. Those tractors are built like TANKS!

[kev2556]

hi my name is keven, i have a craftsman lt 1000 21 hp, if you know anything about engines can you please answer my questions, my engine runs for a litle bit but then goes dead, should i fix it?

[donyboy73]

@kev2556 could be a number of things, if it's ohv i would adjust the valves, make sure the carb is clean

[pivotboy63]

that thing turned out amazing! its really too pretty to use

[jasonmushersee]

Why was that 316 so rusty? I would have used 1 can of paint stripper & muriatic acid to dissolve all that rust. But yours turned out nice and you have the tractor i've always wanted. Ckeck out my video: JD 212 Lawn Tractor Restoration Project

[OSUEng1n33r]

Top notch job Dony and thanks for the excellent documentation on the restoration. I might start a similar job on a friend's 1983 318 later this summer.

How long would you estimate this project took you to complete from start to finish?

[donyboy73]

@OSUEng1n33r 40 hours, next time I would get the parts sandblasted

[NinjaNeglector]

nothing like an ice cold beer after a long hard project! lol

[donyboy73]

@NinjaNeglector yes sir!

[gst69man]

beautiful job

[Mrabodon]

Hey Dony how did you put the sand grit paper down, just an adhesive? Thanks for the tips.

[donyboy73]

@Mrabodon bought it on ebay, it's self adhesive, look up john deere 316 foot pads on ebay

[wilXwyane]

how do you get the rust off?

[donyboy73]

@wilXwyane you can see how i took the rust off in the previous videos

[JDeereGP]

Awesome!!!! Great work, looks great!! 

[donyboy73]

@JDeereGP thanks man

[jvanderman]

hard work always pays off!

[donyboy73]

@jvanderman for sure!

[wheely132]

wholly frig man, she is beutiful! kinda sad that it isn't yours though.. well about 7 months ago, i did this to my 1991 craftsman LT4000. i painted it storm gray. has a couple of scratches and the paint is wore off of the right foot rest but it still looks nice.

[carnivore10]

Hi Don, Wow that turned out sweet! a lot of work for sure,but you made it look easy!

Thanks for posting!!

[donyboy73]

@carnivore10 yea it was a lot of work

[dukesroc01]

NICE WORK you are way better at painting then i am

[2035jim]

Nice.

[Mrtocoolforyou12]

did u put a clear coat outside on the machine?

[donyboy73]

@Mrtocoolforyou12 yes

[Mrtocoolforyou12]

why is there a light on the back of the machine?

[donyboy73]

@Mrtocoolforyou12 for snowblowing

[IPCZX]

awesome job you are very good at everything awesome work congradulations and many more projects you have goes good

[Mueiwark]

Ah, love the sound. Nice low idling, like a real tractor.

[donyboy73]

@ifishfortarpon because it's a john deere and will keep running for the next 20 years

[Mueiwark]

@donyboy73 Yep, especially these 'old ones' that still have all metal fenders and cover panels. Unlike the plastic crap on modern ones, these will outlast the new ones if taken care of.

[motorhead1]

Good video series

[griffy85b]

Painting and prepping is a huge pain in the butt, but the finished product is always worth all the work. Great job donyboy. You worked really hard, and it looks awesome.

[gd9704]

Great job!

[1972FordF150]

That tractor looks like it's brand new ! great job man ! looks great !

[Mopardude]

Yeah the Old JD's are definately worth putting that kind of work into, that tractor could probably go another 30 years now. That 316 really turn out nice hope to see you do more bigger projects like this in the future!

[gpzDave]

Great job! It looks really fresh, I'm sure the guy will be amazed at the transformation.

I've really enjoyed this series and the golf cart engine rebuild of late :)

[ncrdisabled]

I did not see a answer on how much you charged for the restore . That tractor looks brand new now . If the owner was to sell it it would sell like brand new.

What brew were you drinking?

Great video series!!!

[greasyredneck]

great job!!!

[th19940305]

can i ask about how much you charged for this, it was a long process and it came out great, i think if it was done at a autobody shop it couldnt be much better. im thinkin about restoring a snapper i trash picked a few days ago

[donyboy73]

@iDavidMartin thanks man!

[scoobytuff]

I want to move to Canada. You guys still do cool stuff like this!

[paisteboy]

[adrienj67]

I was in donyboy's shop a few days after he finished this project.The tractor looked so good I thought he used an air gun.

[2LateIWon]

What is that bracket for on the right side of the hood for?

[donyboy73]

@2LateIWon for the snowblower chute

[2LateIWon]

wow very nice job Dony!!!

[Snicke22]
