Hello Ken, I will at some point have to fabricate the two rock guards for my Clark. Can you or anyone else supply me with a fold out drawing (Actual Size) so I can cut out my own guards. Thanks, Art

hey Ken, Don here, you said you were sand blasting parts, where did you buy your olive drab paint? thanks Don

HI don I got most of my paint from army jeep parts in Pa or rapco in tx

Hi Ken, I have the guards for the drive wheels. What I need is the guards for the rollers. Glad to see someone like you is still active on this site. I think everybody left except the rest of us. Whatever that means. Talk to you soon. Art

thanx ken

I would have to torche it. That's all I have to work with. Thanks, Art

Ken, back in Nov. 2013 there was a question about where to get paint ( OD ) . I will through this in for what It's worth. I have in stock 2 Gal. of John Deere Yellow and I tinted it with Black paint a little at a time to get the color that I want. It's better than tossing out good paint that I had no other use for. If you can pick up color samples at a paint store, It's easier to match. Maybe this would help somebody else.

HI Art I have also have been told that you also can mix rustoleum green, red primer and flat black to get od green the advantage of the paint from rapco is that they have spray cans that match perfect for touch up and you can go back and paint parts of the machine two or three years later and it will be hard to tell
thanx ken
