Porcelain Coating For Deere Manifolds

Porcelain Coating For Deere Manifolds TRACTORS Accessories 23-3-30 "We've been recoating exhaust manifolds on antique cars with porcelain for 30 years and have recently discovered Deere antique tractor restorers are interested in one of our processes," says Donna Braun of Prairie Auto Porcelain, Northfield, Minn. "Many antique automobiles such as Packards, Cadillacs, Lincolns and Jaguars had porcelain-coated cast iron manifolds. But one, the Duesenburg, had a green-colored porcelain coating that seems to be appealing to Deere tractor restorers. "We use an authentic porcelain coating process, spray applying it to the manifold and then heating it in an oven 12 hours to bake and dry. Prices for the green coating start at $250. "We also recoat old wood stove grates for $30 a pair." Contact: FARM SHOW Followup, Prairie Auto Porcelain, 1424 90th St. W., Northfield, Minn. 55057; ph 507 645-5325).
